Travels with a Typewriter by Michael Frayn
Provides occasional articles about some of the places in the world that interested the author. He wants to describe 'not the extraordinary but the ordinary, the typical, the everyday', and his accounts from a kibbutz in Israel to summer rains in Japan, bicycles in Cambridge to Notting Hill at the end of the 1950s.
Michael Frayn was born in London in 1933 and began his career as a journalist on the Guardian and the Observer.

His most recent novel, Skios, was longlisted for the Booker Prize. His fifteen plays range from Noises Off to Copenhagen and, most recently, Afterlife. He is married to the writer Claire Tomalin.
