One of the pens behind the press
Callum Reyes
Travel and place ยท Slow roads and long detours
Callum writes about getting somewhere the inefficient way. His books are full of night buses, wrong turnings, station cafes at four in the morning and the conversations that only happen when nobody has anywhere to be. He is far more interested in the hour before arrival than in the arrival. Has never once made the connecting train.
