More about the book

In this collection, Frank Moorhouse and his alter ego, Françoise Blasé, are at their mordant best. Their wit, satire and keen eye for detail are finely honed as they travel at home and abroad, savouring the persecution inflicted by bell captains, barmen and tour guides — together with the endless buffeting of cultural differences and Traveller's Paranoia (real and imagined).
