Seven months and twenty-three agreeably ill-assorted vessels are
what were required to transport Gavin Young, by slow boat, from
Piraeus to Canton. His odyssey teemed with excitement, adventure
and colour. Gavin Young's account memorably distils the people,
places, smells, conversations, ships and history of the places he
encountered in what is his most famous book. The sequel, Slow Boats
Home, is also reissued in Faber Finds. 'An unusual and fascinating
book.' Hammond Innes, Guardian 'Storms, fleas, pirates, bad food
and bureaucrats ... My Young suffered what he did to entertain us.'
Anthony Burgess, Observer
