You know, speaking of travel narratives and annoyance with them...

I like Paul Theroux. I really do. But...

YOU HATE WHITE PEOPLE. WE GET IT.

Over and over it crops up about how the evil caucasian tourists ruin "his" travels, "his" islands, "his" interactions with people. The fact that he's also caucasian and that perhaps he's being indulged by the locals is one he seems to completely miss.

Edit- I probably said all this before, but any time I pick up any of his stuff I get irritated at it all over again.
