The Great Railway Bazaar is Paul Theroux’s account of his epic journey by rail via Asia. Full of evocative names of mythical train routes – the Direct-Orient Express, the Khyber Pass Local, the Delhi Mail from Jaipur, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lumpur, the Hikari Super Express to Kyoto and the Trans-Siberian Express – it describes the numerous places, cultures, sights and sounds he experienced and the fascinating folks he met. Here he overhears snippets of chat and low monologues, and is drawn into conversation with fellow passengers, from Molesworth, a British theatrical agent, and Sadik, a shabby Turkish tycoon, at the same time as avoiding the forceful approaches of pimps and drug dealers. This splendidly entertaining travelogue can pay loving tribute to the romantic joys of railways and train go back and forth.
