Winner of the 2018 National Indie Excellence Award in New Adult Non-Fiction. Part travelogue, part time capsule, part confession..." Overland transports us to 1975, when an aspiring Chicago journalist traveling Solo While Female set out on a path traveled by thousands of adventurers in the 60s and 70s in search of enlightenment, cheap thrills, and free love. From Bali to Batu Ferringhi, from Bangkok to Burma and beyond, in the wake of war and the shadow of colonialism, the story recalls the challenges of travel in an Informationless Age, framed against a mind-bending backdrop of ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity. Rollicking yet reflective, it's a digitally remastered blast from a place and time past, when the ultimate measure of cool wasn't where you were from, but how far you'd come. Book club note: Overland frames distinctly feminine coming-of-age themes within a historic, societal, and political context that is sure to stimulate spirited debate.
