30 Jun / Among Flowers: A Walk in the Himalaya by Jamaica Kincaid [in AsianWeek]
From one of my favorite writers comes a highly readable memoir of a seed-collecting trek through eastern Nepal with three botanist friends. As always, Kincaid is blunt, honest, and highly observant, never overlooking her privileged position among a changing crew of sherpas that make the journey possible.
