Synopsis

Over more than a decade, Dylan Moore has written with verve, insight and warm humour about places. Life\x27s journey takes the author from winding roads in rural Wales via bull runs in the Basque Country to the mangrove swamps of the Gulf of Guinea; from smalltown stations in Slovenia to the gates of Auschwitz; from bookshops in Venice and San Francisco to literary festivals on the Keralan coast; from football terraces in Cardiff to street protests in Mexico City. Along the way we meet refugees from Kurdistan and Venezuela, recovering addicts from Bosnia, writers, artists, flamenco dancers, activists, and desert tribesmen singing the songs of Manu Chao. Driving Home Both Ways is part essay collection, part travelogue through life \- it offers fresh reflections on the changing nature of the local and the global, epiphanies of tribe and faith, and is underscored always by the enduring allure of elsewhere and the constant pull of home.
