Product Description
Renowned travel writer Steve Rudd heads East for this collection of his trademark punchy, pithy reports, previously seen in such publications as Time Out and The Guardian, but available in collected, chronologically-ordered form for the first time in Pulse.
Written in transit between October 2010 and February 2011, Pulse finds Rudd on his fifth world-spanning, shoestring adventure, with a 'crisis of the midlife variety' driving him through India, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia in a relentless quest for 'truth and beauty'.
At turns philosophical, poetic, action-packed and hair-raising, this is a truly unique look at Asia - an entertaining and eye-opening experience guaranteed to broaden the mind.
