Roberts releases new book

Suzanne Roberts a travel writer, memoirist and poet has released “Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel” from the University of Nebraska Press.

Both a memoir in travel essays and an anti-guidebook, “Bad Tourist” takes us across four continents to 15 countries, showing us what not to do when traveling.

Fearlessly confessional, shamelessly funny and wholly unapologetic, Roberts offers a refreshingly honest account of the joys and absurdities of confronting new landscapes and cultures, as well as new versions of herself. Raw, bawdy, and self-effacing, “Bad Tourist” is a journey packed with delights and surprises – both of the greater world and of the mysterious workings of the heart.

Roberts will be part of Sierra Nevada University’s Writers in the Wood series on Oct. 9 and 10 at 5 p.m. on Zoom. Register sierranevada.edu. | nebraskapress.unl.edu, suzanneroberts.org
