Naples Declared: A Walk Around the Bay

By Benjamin Taylor           Find This Book


"This book contains no itineraries, advice on getting around, or hotel or restaurant recommendations--in fact, novelist Taylor ("The Book of Getting Even") hasn't so much penned a literal guide as one "literary"--but there is a chronology of Naples (from c.1800 B.C.E. to the present) that proves useful when planning a walk through the city. Taylor's book, like his subject, Naples, is a lot of things at once; there are lengthy discussions of history, philosophy, religion, art, culture, literature, customs. The book meanders between past and present, wanders in stream-of-thought fashion through the Naples streets, delves deeply into the city's stories, lives, and lore, and drops in for conversations with locals; it is an accurate representation of what travel is and what it means. VERDICT Scholarly and insightful and balanced with wit and levity, this is written with an effortless poeticism. It has drawn comparisons with Bruce Chatwin's "In Patagonia" and Eleanor Clark's "Rome and a Villa", but there is the potential for cross-genre."  (Publisher Weekly)
