This Year's Booker Prize Short List Takes Readers All Over the Globe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Booker Prize has always proved a boon for great travel writing, and the recent September 22 announcement of the 2026 shortlist cements that this yearâs crop is no exception. From the entirely underrated Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont from the 1971 shortlist to this yearâs international winner Taiwan Travelogue, the connection between travel and one of the world's most significant literary honors runs deep. âThey are set anywhere and everywhere,â said prize committee chair and classicis
RF Kuang's New Novel Takes On the Angst of a Diaspora Kid on a Study-Abroad Trip to Taipei (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In RF Kuangâs latest book Taipei Story, the genre of the campus novel outgrows its name. The novel follows Chinese-American college freshman Lily Chen, who leaves the pale, male, and Yale environs of New Haven, Connecticut, for an intensive Mandarin-language program in Taipei for the summer. While her own family has never stepped foot in Taiwan, Lily holds onto the belief that perfecting her Mandarin will finally reconcile the shortcomings of being a diaspora kid.

What Rockaway Film Festival Can Teach Us About Going to the Movies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite its endless appetite for novelty, New York City really is a creature of recursion. Memories never remain too far behind, or rather, too far ahead, before theyâre back again wearing a familiar form.

Read excerpt
Traveling across the International Date Line (IDL) can get weirdâseriously weird. Letâs say youâre looking for a change in scenery from the Edenic climes of Auckland and fall smitten with the whale-filled waters of Vancouver. As far as long-haul flights go, this one doesnât seem too out of the ordinaryâif you fly from New Zealand on a Tuesday, youâll land in Canada the Monday before since you crossed the IDL from the left. But thatâs assuming youâve crossed the line just once. Be
Why Don't Hotels Have a 13th Floor? The Spooky Reason Dates All the Way Back to Norse Mythology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The mark of a great hotel can generally be boiled down to how frictionlessly it executes the floor routine between check-in and check-out. While tactful discretion is always appreciated, itâs the flourishes and the flair that guests write home about. Maybe itâs a welcome drink that comes right before your breaking point at the end of a weary travel day, or the heated tile in your bathroom that staves off the shivers through your post-shower routine. When a hotel gets all the little things ri
