Far Country: Stories from Abroad and Other PlacesHarmony memoir series

Literary Nonfiction. Middle Eastern Studies. Memoir. Journalism. Here is a memoir of a foreign correspondent in some of the hard parts of the world who remained open to the human stories around him. Praise for FAR COUNTRY: STORIES FROM ABROAD AND OTHER PLACES: "Timothy Kenny's Far Country moves from Kabul to Detroit, Azerbaijan to Kosovo, and the connecting thread is not the obvious adventure but human relationships. Each essay is a story we fall into, story after story connected through relationship and observation, from darkness to the next darkness. Kenny's essays are not just reports from the front but a fascinating set of hard-won observations on any front, any complex of situations, that any of us might encounter."--Trish Harris, editor Pea River Journal "It is easy to get caught up in Tim Kenny's rich stories about Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, the U.S., and elsewhere. Behind every story about his experiences are drive and perseverance--often exhibited during turbulent times in foreign lands--that give substance to the stories."—Adnan Mahmutovic, Co-editor, Two-Thirds North, Stockholm, Sweden
