About the Book

This anthology from the Tetradian weblog highlights a range of themes beyond my usual domain of architectures and the like. There’s a particular emphasis here on travel and fiction.

The book includes about 35 posts and 10 images, and is split into two sections:

  • Write: Travel - centres around travel-experiences in France, Portugal, Mexico, Guatemala, Britain and other countries.
  • Write: Fiction - presents examples of writing in various fictional styles, for business-stories, alternate-history and science-fiction.
