{"product_id":"the-old-patagonian-express-by-train-through-the-americas","title":"The Old Patagonian Express: By Train Through the Americas","description":"INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. The Old Patagonian Express chronicles Paul Theroux’s train journey from his home in Boston, Massachusetts to the foot of South America, in 1978. Full of witty and sharp observations, Theroux goes out of his way to talk to as many locals as possible along the way.\nStarting with a rush-hour subway ride to South Station in Boston to catch the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago, Theroux winds up on the poky, wandering Old Patagonian Express steam engine, which comes to a halt in a desolate land of cracked hills and thorn bushes. But, with Theroux, the view along the way is what matters: the monologuing Mr. Thornberry in Costa Rica, the bogus priest of Cali, and the celebrated writer, Jorge Luis Borges, who delights in having Theroux read Robert Louis Stevenson to him.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 039552105X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.039552105X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Theroux, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
