From Istanbul to New Delhi to Boulder, Colorado, through Venice, Paris, Rome, and items between. As travellers, we have been always walking backwards, forever on the verge of stepping into the unfamiliar, never knowing what waits around another corner. You could be lost, neglect your passport, land ill. You could be served a bowl of food rather than know whether it's animal, veggie, or nutrient. Even flushing the bathroom can be an trip. You are a kid again, innocent and hoping for the best, compelled to trust strangers. Quite often this works out. Not always. Walking Backwards is a return to 10 towns and what took place there. Whether inadvertently smuggling material into Istanbul, reading poetry in New Delhi to a group expecting a world-famous pianist, or wandering endlessly through Mantua searching for a non-existent hotel on the street that's dropped off the map, Mark Frutkin is a master at rediscovering the magic in the centre of all travel.
