Yet, even when the writers travel far from the Northeast, the sensibility they carry remains deeply rooted in the region’s landscapes and histories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe anthology features pilgrimages and solitary wanderings, journeys shaped by curiosity, scholarship, love, work and chance. Some essays are meditative, others humorous and sharply observant. Taken together, they capture how writers from the region have encountered the world, and how in travelling outward they have repeatedly returned to questions of home. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA boat ride along the Brahmaputra. A perilous journey to Kohima. Moonlit forests in Arunachal. Pilgrimages across India and drives through the Himalayas. Then onward…to Kenya, Japan, Greece, Paris, Uganda, Sri Lanka, and beyond. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWanderings in the Northeast, and Elsewhere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a remarkable anthology of travel writing that brings together twenty-six essays by some of Assam and the Northeast's most distinguished literary voices.
