David Banner Get Like Me: How It Became a Billboard Hot 100 Hit



Given the definitional uncertainties of travel writing, it's hardly surprising that the field has begun to attract the attention of academics like Patrick Holland and Graham Huggan. Never mind the zippy alliteration of their title. TOURISTS WITH TYPEWRITERS: Critical Reflections on Contemporary Travel Writing (University of Michigan, $32.50) is heavyweight stuff, what the authors themselves might call (indeed, do call) a ''metacommentary.'' An introductory passage setting out the book's goals asks eight suitably hefty questions -- ''What might a taxonomy of contemporary travel narratives look like, and how might it tally with travel writing's inventory of spatialized cultural myths?'' is a fair example -- then concludes, ''All of these questions are essayed, if hardly answered, in this study.''
