Product Description
Product Description
Rush drummer Neil Peart lets readers ride along on his numerous road trips through North America, Europe and South America, sharing his experiences in personal reflections and full-colour photos. Spanning almost four years, these 22 stories are open letters that recount adventures both personal and universal - from the challenges and accomplishments in the professional life of an artist to the birth of a child. A love of drumming and the open road threads through the narrative as Peart explores new horizons - both physical and spiritual.

This is the third of Peart's 'road' books that I have read, the others being Roadshow and Travelling Music. If you enjoyed either of those, you will enjoy this one. The insights he gives into his experiences riding his BMW motorcycle between Rush tour dates across Europe and the US provide an alternative view of life on the road as a rock 'n' roll drummer. There are interesting asides that offer glimpses into drum lessons with Pete Erskine and Freddie Gruber, his home life, the birth of his daughter and his general philosophies on life, nature and the environment. There are some anecdotes for the drum obsessed Rush fans but, for the most part, this is a travel book detailing what it may be like to ride tens of thousands of miles in many different terrains, staying at different hotels every night, and muddling through.
Its strength? It continues in the vein of his earlier works as he shares his adventures and those of his travelling companions.

Far and Away shows how Neil Peart's writing is developing and exploring new boundaries. His writing is tight and expressive while evoking powerful mental images of the places he has been and the things he experiences. Well done Mr Peart. Keep up the great work.
Format:Hardcover
