<p>A.A. Gill was an exceptional writer. Savage and compassionate in equal measure, he was always opinionated, always original, often surprising, and his writing illuminated every page.<br><br> This second collection of his journalism brings together pieces from near and far. He was ferociously well-travelled and wrote ''abroad is as foreign and funny and strange and shocking as it ever was, and our need to know our neighbours every bit as great''. <i>Far and Away </i>is a book about meeting those neighbours. Wherever he was - with the glitterati in St Tropez or in the ruins of earthquake-stricken Haiti - he had the ability to pin down the heart of a story and render it unforgettable. He was a peerless writer about food, and we also join him at tables all around the globe. A.A. Gill had the gift of making his readers see the world in a different way. And, always, of making them laugh. This collection is an opportunity to marvel at a master at work.</p>
