“Best American Travel Writing 2005” vs. “Best Travel Writing 2005”

In Perceptive Travel, Tim Leffel compares the Houghton Mifflin anthology with the Travelers’ Tales collection. He prefers the latter. On The Best American Travel Writing 2005, edited by Jamaica Kincaid, he writes: “[S]logging through this collection was too often about as much fun as taking a Friday night seminar class at the university.” And on Travelers’ Tales Best Travel Writing 2005: “Get that one if you want to read stories that are fun, intriguing, and exuberant.” (Via Written Road.)
