      Visitants traces the extraordinary travels made by Pulitzer-nominated voice of a generation, Dave Eggers. Visitants is Dave Eggers's first collection of travel writing. The book begins at 140kph, with Eggers being driven across the deserts of Saudi Arabia by a hired driver who declares, 'American, boom boom!' This opening sets the stage for the collection's vast cultural scope and ever-present sense of adventure, inquisitiveness and daring. From Saudi Arabia, Eggers takes us further on freewheeling sojourns in the likes of Cuba and Thailand, followed by brief stopovers in Croatia and Syria, and thought-provoking, meditative expositions on South Sudan. Globetrotters and Eggers fans alike will find a faithful companion in his unique combination of humour, humanism and empathy.Praise for Dave Eggers: 'Among the most influential writers in the English language' - GQ'A writer of the highest order' - San Francisco Chronicle'Possibly the most admired and emulated American author of his generation' - IndependentDave Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney's, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco. He is the author of seven previous books, including A Hologram for the King (finalist for the National Book Award 2012), Zeitoun (winner of the American Book Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize) and What is the What, which was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award and won France's Prix Médicis.
