EXPOSURE: A JOURNEY
Book ID/图书代码: 14058009B34000
English Summary/英文概要: Exposure is a funny and poignant memoir of adventure and love with a sharp psychological edge. Joel Magarey, a young journalist haunted by both inflated dreams and obsessive-compulsive disorder, abandons his career and girlfriend of seven years for a long-imagined global odyssey – and unimagined perils. Travel tale, love story and generation-X tragicomedy, Exposure is about wanting and fearing too much, choosing too little and how a person can spend three weeks solid in Los Angeles searching for the perfect sleeping bag.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 這是一本關於慾望無限,但恐懼擔憂也相對無限的個人冒險故事
Joel Magarey決心拋下一切以及相戀七年的女友,獨自踏上周遊世界的旅程。
雖然這是他渴望已久的夢想,但旅途中眾多的艱難險阻卻還是令他始料未及,尤其他自己還深受焦慮症所擾。(AW & KC)
