 * Coasting (1982) || Jonathan Raban || Raban sails single handedly around the island of Britain and reflects on Thatcher's regime and the Falklands war. He fleetingly meets Paul Theroux who is travelling the coast mostly by train and writes of his travels in The kingdom by the sea (1983). Interesting to compare their perceptions and relive this period in history as well as to reflect on our own experiences in some of the places. || exsandgroper ||
