Waughs accounts of his travelsspanning the years from 1929 to 1958describe journeys through the West Indies  Mexico  South America  the Holy Land  and Africa. And just as his travels informed his fiction  his novelists sensibility is apparent in each of these pieces. Waugh pioneered the genre of modern travel writing in which the comic predicament of the traveler is as central as the world he encounters. He wrote with as sharp an eye for folly as for foliage  and a delight in the absurd  not least where his own comfort and dignity are concerned.
