Diary of an Immigrant
Diary of an Immigrant, a celebration of second chances, brave choices, and the beauty of not having it all figured out. No derring-do, mountain scaling, or ocean sailing, just two ordinary British folks ready to give life in another country a whirl. A beautifully crafted narrative told through a series of delightful anecdotes and short stories, much of it drawn from the author's own journal entries.Older than most, wiser than some, and determined to outwit life's wilder turns, the author and his wife hatch a bold new plan. Abandoning the conventional retirement script, they leap into an uncharted life in France - or Brittany as the Bretagne's prefer - with optimism, enthusiasm, and only the vaguest of ideas. What follows isn't a tale of slippers and garden gnomes, but a witty, warm-hearted romp through cultural confusions, unlikely joys, and the fine art of starting over. A spirited celebration of second acts and the courage to simply say, "Why not?"Join our plucky adventurers as they leave their homeland to face bewilderment on an entirely unexpected scale.

Once Upon a Continent
If she had known that she would fall into a cannibal-size soup pot in Peru, risk losing toes and fingers in the high Andes, and high-jump out of a marriage proposal in a Bolivian discotheque, Susanna Janssen might have had a second thought. But she drank yerba mate with gauchos in Argentina, visited Machu Picchu with just six other tourists, downed shots of firewater with gravediggers in Ecuador, sailed the Gal獺pagos Islands before crowds of tourists discovered them, and met a volcano in Patagonia that changed her life. Susanna's recounting of the wonders, worries, and wows of her travels is high on adventure, tinged with pathos, and spiced with humor. Once Upon a Continent is a cultural and deeply personal odyssey of South America etched through four months of charting the unknown."Packed with eye-opening cultural reflection and gripping moments of near-disasters and engrossing discoveries, Once Upon a Continent is more than a travelogue and a memoir. It's a venture into wonder. Prepare to be amazed."- Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

A Return to Self
Longlisted for the NBCC Award for Nonfiction A blend of travelog and memoir spanning from Turkey to Mexico, exploring Aatish Taseer's uniquely blended identity and asking: Why do certain cities become epicenters of great historical shifts and sites of unpredictable communities? In 2019, the government of Prime Minister Narenda Modi revoked Aatish Taseer's Indian citizenship, thereby exiling him from the country where he grew up and lived for thirty years. This loss, both practical and spiritual, sent him on a journey of revisiting the places that formed his identity, and asking broader questions about the complex forces that make a culture and a nationality, in the process. In Istanbul, he confronts the hopes and ambitions of his former self. In Uzbekistan, he sees how what was once the majestic portal of the Silk Road is now a tourist fa癟ade. In India, he explores why Buddhism, which originated there, is so little practiced. Everywhere he goes, the ancient world mixes intimately with the contemporary: with the influences of the pandemic, the rise of new food cultures, and the ongoing cultural battles of regions around the world. How do centuries of cultures evolving and overlapping, often violently, shape the people that subsequently emerge from them? In thoughtful prose that combines reportage with romanticism, Taseer casts an incisive eye at what it means to belong to a place that becomes an unstable, politicized vessel for ideas defined by exclusion and prejudice, and gets to the human heart of the shifts and migrations that define our multicultural world.
