Following in the footsteps of Alan Booth, which is no mean feat, Peter Orosz has managed to produce one of the most intriguing and beautifully produced psychogeographical books about Japan in recent memory.
Orosz’s “The Wilds of Shikoku” details the Hungarian’s 500km-walk across one of Japan’s most remote and unpopulated islands and along the way pens some of the bleakest and most beautiful moments of travel journalism about Japan.
With photography by Orosz and Gyula Simonyi, and ornate and delicate design by Akos Polgardi, “The Wilds of Shikoku” is a must for any fans or devotees of travel journalism focused on the archipelago.
The Hungarian is already on his way to being considered one of Booth’s literary successors and one of the most captivating travel writers of recent times.
