He goes so far as to call Hank's life story "noir-ish"....

Todo mundo sabe que não existe um só tipo de mulher, e, quando o assunto é viagem, cada uma tem sua preferência: há as Ártemis, que preferem a proximidade com a natureza, as Atenas, que não querem saber de se desconectar do trabalho, as Heras, que estão sempre acompanhando o marido, as Deméters, que gostam mesmo é de viajar com os filhos, as Perséfones, sempre em uma busca espiritual, e as Afrodites, que não abrem mão do luxo.

Elaine Sciolino came to Paris as a young foreign correspondent and was seduced by a river.

Turn Left at the Trojan Horse has been described as On the Road meets Eat, Pray, Love because it goes well beyond a road trip. More than just a funny and profound narrative of Brad Herzog's cross-country trek toward a college reunion in Ithaca (New York) and more than another reimagining of Odysseus's ancient journey (he visits places like Troy, OR... Iliad, MT... Apollo, PA...), it is a memoir exploring the parameters of a heroic existence - by chronicling the lives of people in America's oft-ignored spaces, by examining the universal truths embedded in ancient myths, and by undertaking a fair bit of self-evaluation.
