Detailed item info

Synopsis
Elinor Burkett staved off a midlife crisis by traveling with her husband to Kyrgyzstan for a year, beginning in September 2001. Wearing a burqa, she attempted to fit into a society where women are despised and the locals were (understandably) fearful of an imminent US invasion of nearby Iraq. Burkett taught a journalism course, hosted groups of media representatives, and found all her preconceptions challenged; she writes about the sometimes harrowing experience with a great deal of humor.

Publisher's Note
At a time when Americans were so riveted by questions about their place in a newly hostile world and were swearing off air travel, Elinor Burkett did not just take a trip -- she took a headlong dive into enemy territories. Her yearlong odyssey began with her assignment as a Fulbright Professor teaching journalism in Kyrgyzstan, a faded fragment of Soviet might in the heart of Central Asia -- a place of dilapidated apartments, bizarre food, and demoralized citizens clinging to the safety of Brother Russia. She then journeyed to Afghanistan and Iraq -- where she mingled with tense Iraqis, watching the gathering storm clouds of an American-led invasion -- as well as Iran, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, China, and Vietnam. Whether she's writing about being served goat's head in a Kyrgyz yurt, checking out bowling alleys in Baghdad, or trying to cook a chicken in a crumbling apartment, Burkett offers an eclectic series of adventures that are alternately comical, poignant, and discomfiting.
Industry reviews
"A lively and perceptive look at life in parts of the world few Westerners will ever experience firsthand." Kirkus (02/15/2004) "[Burkett has the] characteristics [of] robust pragmatism, blunt humor, a sense of fun and an eagerness to have her own prejudices and preconceptions shattered....Burkett is often amused and amusing. Her portrait of Iran...is among the best I have read....But Burkett's message is ultimately sobering." New York Times Book Review - Brooke Allen (06/06/2004)
