The Dark Tourist by Dom Joly

The Dark Tourist by Dom Joly

In this brilliantly odd and hilariously told bestselling travel memoir, Dom Joly sets out on a quest to visit those destinations from which the average tourist would, and should, run a mile.

Destinations that would make a travel agent go pale -- Sunday Times
. . brilliantly funny, irreverent writing with non-sickly compassion for those who live under the most oppressive regimes... a very human travelogue -- Country Life
Readability in spades -- Scotsman
Intoxicating and hilarious. Like all the best travel writing, it makes you long to be in the seat next to him -- John Niven
