FROM FISHING AND FLYING TO FRENCH COOKING - BEN AITKEN'S YEAR OF ACTIVELY PURSUING FUN.
Ben Aitken Ordine dei libri
La scrittura di Ben Aitken nasce spesso da esperienze non convenzionali e da un'acuta osservazione. Il suo primo lavoro ha comportato il seguire le orme di un popolare scrittore di viaggi attraverso il Regno Unito, portando a una raccolta di note a piè di pagina umoristiche. Avventurandosi ulteriormente, Aitken si è trasferito in Polonia per immergersi in un negozio locale di fish and chips, un'esperienza che è diventata la base del suo libro successivo. Attraverso questi viaggi unici, Aitken esplora le sfumature culturali e le avventure personali con una voce distintiva e accattivante.
