BY THE AUTHOR OF INTERSTATE, WINNER OF THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL
BOOK OF THE YEAR "Sayarer is a precise and passionate writer . . .
The vast energy of his commitment to discover, observe and
communicate makes for engrossing, often incandescent prose. We need
writers who will go all the way for a story, and tell it with fire.
Sayarer is a marvellous example" HORATIO CLARE Ten years after
breaking a world record for cycling around the world, award-winning
travel writer Julian Sayarer returns to two wheels on the roads of
Israel and occupied Palestine. His route weaves from the ancient
hills of Galilee, along the blockaded walls of the Gaza Strip and
down to the Bedouin villages of the Naqab Desert. He speaks with
Palestinian hip-hop artists who wonder if music can change their
world, Israelis hoping that kibbutz life can, and Palestinian
cycling clubs determined to keep on riding despite the army
checkpoints and settlers that bar their way. Pedalling through a
military occupation, in the chance encounters of the roadside, a
bicycle becomes a vehicle of more than just travel, and cuts
through the tension to find a few simple truths, and some hope. As
the miles pass, the journey becomes a meditation on making change -
how people in dark times keep their spirit, and go on believing
that a different world is possible.
