"From acclaimed author Mark Anthony Jarman comes Touch Anywhere to Begin, his first travel book since the critically acclaimed Ireland's Eye in 2002. In 18 head-spinning essays, Jarman can drift through Venice amid the revelry of carnival and the arrival of the pandemic or visit a private club along Shanghai's Huangpu River to be serenaded by a band of retired People's Liberation Army singers.
