“As a I read this book I was hypnotized into that half-dreaming state that only a train journey can summon, where imagination begins to embellish and the world becomes ravishingly strange. Full of intriguing glimpses of both passengers and a world outside the window, which peel back the layers to show us what lies beneath: the secret, greasy, blemished lives that pass by us in a flash, and leave us to wonder at the flawed tapestry of human experience. Unsentimental yet tender, grotesque yet beautiful, this book will travel with you as gaze from the windows of trains.”
