Overview

This collection of essays may be short, but Anthony Velasquez covers a lot of ground, taking us from California's Central Valley to the rocky shores of South Korea, with stops in Europe, Cairo, and even upstate New York. Velasquez's laid-back, conversational tone displays his west coast roots, yet underneath the chilled surface lies a dexterous mind that is constantly asking questions and finding humor in any given situation. Once You Get Far Enough Away, You're on Your Way Back Home is an at times wry, lovely meditation on life's boomerang effect, and most importantly, just what it means to really belong.-Chris Tharp, author of The Worst Motorcycle in Laos and regular contributor to National Geographic Traveller

Reviews

With the economy of a well-written postcard and the depth of a heartfelt letter, Anthony Velasquez wastes no time plunging us into both the pleasures and the sobering insights sparked by his travels abroad. The opening words of this book gave me a glimpse of his wry humor; its closing words gave me goosebumps. Vivid in its detail, frank in its observation, marvelous in its storytelling, and-ultimately-stubborn in its hope, this pocketful of essays is a gem. June Gervais, author of Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair
