reacting to Travels with
Samantha
by Philip Greenspun
"I'm told the French say that when you visit a new place for a week you
come home and write a book. When you visit for a month you come home
and write an article. When you visit for a year you come home and
have nothing to say. So, perhaps the important part of travel writing
is to visit briefly."

These are comments selected from the approximately 1 MB of feedback I
got on Travels with Samantha from June 1993 when I started mailing it
from the road through December 1994 when I got around to picking
through the accumulated files.
