Apaixonar-se por alguém parece um processo tão pessoal e espontâneo que pode soar estranho –e até um tanto insultante– sugerir que outra coisa (que podemos chamar de sociedade ou cultura) possa desempenhar um papel secreto e crucial na regência de nossas relações em seus momentos mais íntimos.

Then, in 2020, we asked another group of authors, including Pico Iyer, Julia Phillips, and Imbolo Mbue, what travel books had made an impression on them.
