Review title: A distant journey, an inward quest
Product review: The author writes from a fund of historic knowledge about a place little known to most Americans, Uzbekistan. He had served there briefly in the Peace Corps and went back as a journalist conducting a study of the demise of the Aral Sea. It takes most of the book to get there but the journey is rich with people, experiences and personal discovery. I found him a man worth knowing, a gifted writer honestly engaging the reader as he recounts a modern day Asiatic trek.
