Overview

How can people work on trains? Read on trains? There is so much happening outside!

With these words, World Fantasy and Hugo Award-nominated artist Kathleen Jennings opens the door to a graceful, nuanced world of travel vignettes. With an affinity for words that's equal to her celebrated artwork, Jennings captures the passing landscape with an illustrator's eye for detail and a poet's command of rich language and startling metaphors.

Originally published over the span of three years while travelling across Massachusetts, New York State, and England, Travelogues collects Kathleen's train vignettes together for the first time.

Each of these nine journeys is infused with wonder and rich, unfamiliar landscapes, and those who climb aboard will forever look at train travel with new eyes.

About the Author

Kathleen Jennings is a writer and illustrator based in Brisbane, Australia. Raised in western Queensland, she grew up either reading or staring out windows at trees on long drives, and long-distance travel has never lost its romance for her. She once wrote an honours thesis on railways in British children's novels, and now (in years other than 2020) spends many hours carrying art across other countries while half-reading poetry she picked up in towns at either end of train journeys.

Her debut Australian Gothic short novel Flyaway was published by Tor.com (USA) and Picador (Australia) in 2020 (and it does have illustrations). As an illustrator, she has been shortlisted four times for the World Fantasy Awards, once for the Hugos, and once for the Locus Awards, as well as winning a number of Ditmars. As a writer, she has won two Ditmars and been shortlisted for the Eugie Foster Memorial Award and for several Aurealis Awards. She completed an MPhil in Creative Writing (Australian Gothic literature) at the University of Queensland in 2019, and has since begun a PhD. She can be found online at tanaudel.wordpress.com.
