The wall at the public library doesn't have room for photos of all the writers who've lived in town so they limit the display to those who've won the Pulitzer Prize (Annie Dillard, Philip Caputo, etc.). Entering the auditorium I passed a man who could have been homeless sitting in the back and clutching a paperback copy of Patrick Leigh Fermor's Roumeli.
I gave my talk and then read a few pages from The Joys of Travel, specifically the story "What I Like About Key West." Afterwards, as I signed books, a woman said to me: "I'm so glad you mentioned my favorite travel writer - Freya Stark."
