Publisher Description
New travel writing at its best, Pilgrimage relives the pilgrim's journey with affection and bite, lovingly descriptions of pilgrim towns and villages, poetica written with a vibrant and passionate pen.
Commentators say Pilgrimage is “beautiful poetic writing", with “inspired metaphor, written “to a breathless walking rhythm”.
The judge of the Peter Cowan Short Story Prize said of one Pilgrimage story: it’s 'An epic evocation of place. Yes, this story proves that you can produce an epic in a mere 488 words! Like all good fiction, perhaps, this piece is ultimately an investigation into how time passes and works. Energetic, almost punch-drunk writing (I mean that as a complement!): "Let the dogs and big ideas fight over the bones behind the Calle mayor". Fabulous!
Towns of interest include Conques, Santiago de Compostella, St Jean-Pied-de-Port, Figaec and Le Puy.
