The document known as "The Parthian Stations" is an account of the
overland route from Antioch to the borders of India in the first
century BC. John Ash's own "Parthian Stations" begins with his
departure from New York to Istanbul. It is a journey, as he writes,
not so much between contrasting cities as 'between different
versions of the same city', to a place that is exotic and familiar,
spanning West and East, past and present, where cultures and
histories intersect. It holds memories and encounters: time
dissolves, but it is also vividly real, with buses, restaurants and
meetings with friends. Precise, witty and unpredictable, John Ash
writes as the watchful outsider, with the insights of a resident.
"The Parthian Stations" continues his exploration of what it means
to be a part of a culture, to celebrate what is loved and
ultimately unknowable.
