This rollicking prose travelogue is a biting and witty examination of a country that, for many, seems alien and distanced from the modern world. Brimming with anecdotes of Theroux's encounters with Estonian people and using his trademark acrobatic allusions, quotations, and digressions, Estonia: A Ramble Through the Periphery establishes Theroux's place beside Thomas Pynchon as one of the sharpest cultural commentators of our time.
