A humorous exposé of the secret agents of travel writing – from Homer to those Lonely Planet slaves who mine information on everything from food to fashion, fleapits to fun palaces, boats, buses and bar-top dancers. Hear hair-raising tales of Grand Theft Camera in Granada, a military coup in Pakistan, passive stoning in Copenhagen, Komodo dragons, dead popes, Albanian buses, and the Greek ferry system.
Des Hannigan presents his talk at the 2016 Penzance Literary Festival
