This is an off-beat take on the peculiarities of travel and a satire on fussy and eccentric travelers across the world Anushkar Ravishankar, illustrated by Trotsky Marudu Wish You Were Here is an off-beat take on the peculiarities of travel and a satire on fussy and eccentric travellers across the world. The brilliant nonsense verse captures snapshots of travellers at well-known destinations, and the vibrant, zany illustrations enhance the humour of the text. Exaggeratedly stock pictures of tourist places across the world, usually found in travel brochures, form the backdrops. Vibrant pop art by Indian poster artists form the backgrounds for the action. Here is an unusual account of travels across the world in verse, which is both witty and wry. Wish you were here will appeal to anyone who has ever travelled abroad, or in fact, anyone with a sense of humour.
