Every issue seems to be crammed with pieces I need to read!



Here are tastes of several highlights from this one:


Tough Guy - Norman Mailer - delightful piece.


Walking the Wall - one man's obsession with the Great Wall of China

If you want to read about obsession and the Great Wall try "First pass under heaven : a 4,000-kilometre walk along the Great Wall of China" by Nathan Hoturoa Gray. Then read "Embracing the dragon : a woman's journey along the Great Wall of China" by Polly Greeks for an alternate view of that obsession.
