Baghdad Without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia »rank: 456955 par: Tony Horwitz Chroniques et points de vue:From :Horwitz has the touch, the ability to astutely capture the ludicrous essence of an experience while filling in all the pertinent socio-historic details. He chews qat with the Yemenis, plays soccer with the Sudanese Dinka refugees and listens to an endless refrain of 'You are the perfume of lraq, oh Saddam' in Baghdad. Horwitz' eye and wit are equally sharp, and his book is an exceptionally good read.
