...whence he came, Erte has been for eight decades both a witness to and an influence on the style and tone of the 20th century. The designer for the Folies-Bergère, the Ziegfeld Follies, George White's Scandals and the illustrator of every Harper's Bazaar cover from 1915 to 1936, Erte continues today to work in his Paris home, creating his fine-lined, Beardsley-esque drawings; only last June, Der Rosenkavalier, featuring his sets and costumes, was performed at England's Glyndebourne Opera Festival. And at the time of his 90th birthday in November...

They come back in a daze of wonder. But even today's writers who travel are remarkably good: Paul Theroux (The Great Railway Bazaar), Edward Hoagland (African Calliope), Jonathan Raban (Old Glory: An American Voyage) and the splendidly mordant V.S. Naipaul...
...youth set free from the narrow confines of hometown and ceremonial life. Theroux has also journeyed on the open road, but on a far more expansive one. Encompassing both adventure and introspection, he has recorded journeys from Victoria Station to Siberia, and back, in The Old Railway Bazaar; and from South Boston to the other up of America in The Patagonian Express. Calm and without the intensity of Kerouac, both books afford homebodies a glimpse of the world away from the crackerjack, automatic world of T.V. sets and interest rates...
