AUTHOR OF INTERSTATE, STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016;
"Iberia" is Julian Sayarer's account of his impromptu journey
across Portugal and Spain, from Lisbon towards Barcelona,
undertaken during a pandemic on an old blue bicycle named Miles.;
Finding himself in Lisbon amidst a pandemic, Julian Sayarer decides
simply to ride. Through hazy landscapes and on baked roads, he
pedals east. During long hours in the saddle, his thoughts traverse
matters big and small - hopping from post-colonial culpability to
the supremacy of an orange picked at the roadside; Across 900 miles
of sun-drenched olive groves, vast mountainscapes, and dormant
towns glimpsed through driving rain, Sayarer's journey is
punctuated by fleeting, beautiful moments of human connection.
Iberia is a celebration of a shared humanity and community found in
a uniquely fragile time; Sayarer is a brilliantly thoughtful writer
... One can't help thinking that the future of travel writing lies
in this adventurous, post-modern genre -- Sara Wheeler; Sayarer has
made something of a specialism of reporting on the world from the
roadside. -- Daily Telegraph; On the Road for the Occupy Generation
-- Open Democracy; Sayarer's love of the open road and his ability
to evoke the beauty of travelling by bike are a potent combination
that makes you itch to go cycling -- Cycling Active
