Through Amsterdam with Seth Stevenson
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 08.29.05 | 7:26 AM ET
Slate ran another five-part Well-Traveled series last week, Should I Move to Amsterdam? by Seth Stevenson. It’s insightful and quite funny, a mix that also helped one of his previous efforts for Slate, Trying Really Hard to Like India, make the pages of the upcoming 2005 Best American Travel Writing anthology. It gets a big shout out from editor Jamaica Kincaid in her foreward: “It is essays like Stevenson’s that keep me reading through pile after pile of mediocre travel writing.” Stevenson’s Amsterdam stories are also available via podcast.
