- About My Library
- Because my work has been so focused on books, my library reflects different aspects of my writing life. My largest collection, though, is fiction, which is what I most enjoy reading. The wonderful cartography collection belongs to my husband, who has been involved with antiquarian maps for many years.
- About Me
- I’m a writer whose work has focused on criticism, the culture of magazines, and travel. My focus these days is mostly on travel literature, which I review on my website blog, TraveLit. (www.gailpool.com/blog.htm) My most recent book is a travel memoir, “Lost Among the Baining: Adventure, Marriage, and Other Fieldwork,” which looks back—with a great deal of humor—on a fiasco of a field trip I took with my husband to New Guinea to live with the Baining people. For more information about the book and photos, please take a look at my website (www.gailpool.com)
I live in Cambridge, MA, and Sanibel, FL. - Location
