Outlandish (read by me) is one of Variety’s top 12 recommendations for audiobooks this year, with this lovely write-up by Matthew Chernov:
Rather than explore well-trodden territory, travel writer Nick Hunt walks through some of the most unlikely terrains in Europe and reports back in “Outlandish,” his most recent work. The existential dread of climate change looms over many of the locations Hunt finds, making this an especially urgent book. His reverence for the natural world and respect for the people he encounters on his odyssey is apparent on every page, as is his unsurpassed ability to capture the look, sound, smell, and overall atmosphere of some truly haunting landscapes. You’ll know you’re in for a special experience when you listen to the opening section of the audiobook – which is narrated by the author himself – where Hunt stumbles across a spectacular patch of Arctic tundra in Scotland of all places. That surprising discovery is one of many uncharacteristic ecosystems you’ll encounter within these captivating pages.
You can buy the audiobook here on Audible.
