The way from Boston to Patagonia, Paul Theroux discovered, was one of great contrasts - contrasts in people, in temperature, in scenery, in altitude, in attitude. Some of the trans were superb, most were deplorable. Parochialism and xenophobia were coupled with some of the most staggeringly beautiful sights in the world, and some of the most squalid. Throughout, he observed and experienced with a sharp eye, an unbiased mind, and ultimately, a vivid pen.
