Autobiography Quote by Paul Theroux

“Travel books are all sorts - some are autobiographies, some are about falling in love. Some are about having great meals, some are about suffering. There are as many different kinds of travel books as there are novels. People think a travel book is one thing. It's many things.” quote by Paul Theroux — Download Open image
