 January Book Club Reviews: Letters to Zerky
Letters to Zerky is both a memoir and a memorial of a collection of letters and diary entries which recount the Raney's adventurous journey in 1967 as they drove around the world in a VW bus. Not intended as a book at the time of the writing, the intimate and poignant story details the family's travels through Europe, the Middle East, and into Asia, challenging preconceptions about different cultures and illuminating how one-year-old Zerky had a magical effect on everyone they met along the way. Zerky and his mother died shortly after the trip and this narrative serves as tribute to their lives.
Before the broadcast we will be giving away a copy of Letters to Zerky to a lucky listener and fellow book worm. To win follow us on Twitter @WorldFootprints and use the hashtag #4Zerky or email us at BookClub@ WorldFootprints.com with "I Love Zerky" in the subject line. Enter before 6:00pm ET on January 10, 2013. A random drawing of entries will be held on January 11, 2013. Open to U.S. residents only. |
