About the Author
Daisann McLane writes the Frugal Traveler column for the New York Times Sunday travel section, and is a contributing editor and columnist for National Geographic Traveler magazine. Her articles on culture, food, and world music have also appeared in the Village Voice, Vogue, and Rolling Stone, and she has been a commentator on NPR's All Things Considered. Her photographs have appeared in the New York Times, Travel and Leisure and Der Feinschmecker. When not holed up in cheap hotel rooms, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.
From The New Yorker
As the Times' "Frugal Traveler" columnist, McLane has travelled the globe in search of lodgings that strike the ideal balance of comfort and cost. A few years ago, she began photographing places she stayed in, and the resulting pictures, documenting rooms and their views from Chicago to Kuala Lumpur, are both colorful and plaintive, their glimpses of urban excitement and exotic tranquillity tinged with the inevitable sadness of transience. A section entitled "Ten Places I Was Happy," in which each photograph is accompanied by a one-sentence reason, offers the satisfaction of a good haiku, and scattered throughout the book are fascinating artifacts of local custom. "All around the world," McLane writes, "each culture holds fast to its own version of hotel room comfort, and to the little detail that it would be unthinkable to overlook, even in the humblest lodging."
