More about the book
The book critiques two types of travel and adventure writing, particularly those set in lesser-known regions. The first type sensationalizes the author's experiences, exaggerating the dangers and hardships faced. Writers often claim extraordinary access to restricted areas, while in reality, permits are easily obtainable for tracking purposes. The narrative highlights the disparity between actual experiences and embellished accounts, exemplified by a writer boasting about long-range hunting feats that most would find surprising.
