Running after Antelope Book

Running After Antelope...remarkably little about running after antelope, remarkably a lot about social injustice and absolutly shitty conditions in other countries (Cambodia, Kashmir province) overseas. But still a rockin' book.

Scott Carrier very much paints himself as a bit of a social misfit, a wandering soul who happens into situations and places where there is deep learning to be had. This book, in its distilled form, is a collection of his stories about those places. Even if he didn't mention it in the book, I think I could have figured out that he is a regular NPR contributer...he very much writes in radio style, with short quips, lots of meaningful quotes from folks, and a resistience to overarching moralizing. Rather, he simply paints his emotions in each scene and allows many of the conclusions to be drawn by the listener/reader.

I wish there had been more about running, but that's just me.
