Summertime, and the reading is bountiful.
If you want to hit the beach along with a thousand other oily unclad bodies, go right ahead. If erecting a tent while the kids sit playing with their iPads appeals to you, be our guest. If long motionless queues of cars at the American border are just what you need, then bon voyage.
On the other hand, if you would like to join some of the world’s great fiction writers in some of the strangest, most romantic, exotic, bucolic and ominous places in the world (or out of the world!) without leaving the comfort of your own balcony or leafy backyard, why not follow the leads of the LRC’s hand-picked literary travel agents, who are only too happy to direct you to their favourite fictional getaways?
