\u003cdiv\u003eIn \u003cI\u003eSelf-Portrait Abroad\u003c/I\u003e, our narratorâa Belgian author much like Toussaint himselfâtravels the globe, finding the mundane blended everywhere with the exotic: With his usual poker face, he keeps up on Corsican gossip in Tokyo and has a battle of nerves in a butcher shop in Berlin; he wins a boules tournament in Cap Corse, takes in a strip club in Japan's historic Nara, gets pulled through Hanoi on a cycle rickshaw, and has a chance encounter on the road from Tunis to Sfax. Tales of a cosmopolitan at home in a strangely familiar world, \u003cI\u003eSelf-Portrait Abroad\u003c/I\u003e casts the entire globe in a cool but playful light, reminding us that, wherever we go, we take our own eyes with us...\u003c/div\u003e |
