A Travel Journal

By Volker Jehle

In A Travel Journal: (Mis)Adventures in Europe, Asia, Australia, author Volker Jehle provides his readers with an intriguing inside glimpse into the personal travels and experiences that helped inspire and serve as the basis for his creative work. From the automobile troubles that plagued and vexed him during his stay in Prague for Christmas and his 50th birthday, to camping in Royan with his family and trying to dodge the threat of dying from the bite of a viper snake, to surviving the infamous riptides and many poisonous animals and beasts of Australia, the narrative (translated into English by Patricia Stanley) is rich with detail and dry humor in its assessment of each scenario Jehle and his family face during their journeys abroad. Jehle and his translator first met in the mid 1970's at the Hildesheimer Archive that he maintained. They have remained scholarly colleagues and became friends through the keen interest they share in the works of this writer.
