Travels with Basil
A 77-year-old traveler embarks on adventures with Basil, his Jack Russell terrier, beginning in Phuket on an unexpectedly clear morning that inspires a journey together.
I had the idea on a morning that had no business being as clear as it actually was. Aged 77, I am unsurprised when a certain fog settles over my mornings – over memory and purpose for example – but that day the light over Phuket was sharp as a blade and Basil, my Jack Russell terrier, was already pacing the bedroom, like an impatient admiral.
