Here, There, Elsewhere draws together for the first time William Least Heat-Moon's greatest short-form travel writing. Taking us from Japan, England, Italy, and Mexico to Long Island, Oregon, Arizona, and more, , Here, There, Elsewhere is a sharply observed, funny, and touching series of uncommon adventures narrated by America's keenest writer of place, people, and sublime connection.

For decades, William Least Heat-Moon's readers have been clamoring for him to gather his shorter pieces; now, that wait is over. A perfect treasury of prose and wry provocation for readers old and new, Here, There, Elsewhere is further confirmation of Least Heat-Moon's status as an American master.

I read Blue Highways when it first came out, and it made me want to travel, and also informed my outlook. While listening to Here, There, Elsewhere I frequently had to stop and listen to sections again because something he said would send my mind back to a trip I took or an experience I had. Brought back things I had forgotten for years. Lovely experience.

So many memories!

Having just finished Blue Highways, which I found compelling, I listened to "Here, There, Elsewhere." It is a compilation of the author's short stories that have been revised to retain their original vision, as Heat-Moon explains at the outset.

This is a good, solid book. Perhaps because the stories have been written at different times over decades, some were more enjoyable than others and the book lacks the coherence of Blue Highways.

Personally, I like the stories with strong characters, where the focus is on the characters and not so much on the author's personal views and insights. Heat-Moon has a strong gift for informal interviews and character studies, which is one of the reasons I liked Blue Highways so much. There's more of that here, but it comes and goes a bit.

That said, he was sure right about craft beer!

Pretty Good, But Not Blue Highways

I have listened to literally hundreds of audio books. "Here, There, Elsewhere" ranks in my top three listens. Joe Barrett does a fantastic job with his narration performance of the text. Superbly executed book!

One Of The Best Books I Have Ever Listened To!

William Least-Heat Moon never disappoints in his art of words. Motioning and commanding them here, there and elsewhere never imaginable by the common man--or woman.

lyrical genious.

well written and performed. but occasionally the author goes off rail and begins with a preachy chapter that makes me want to turn to the next chapter
