Haven’t We Been Here Before?
Travel stories for advanced practitioners
The pandemic may have slowed him down, but now Dietmar Bittrich is back on the road – by bus, train, plane, rental car and on foot. Writing with incomparably dry wit, an instinct for situational comedy and an affectionately ironic eye for human shortcomings, he explores the ups and downs and occasionally pointless absurdities of travel. Do we really need to find out what’s hiding behind such mythical names as Palenque and Timbuktu? Perhaps a stroll through a humdrum but as-yet undiscovered small town will suffice. But when you reach the main square you stop, startled: haven’t we been here before?
