I’ve got to
be pretty much the perfect reader for Yvonne Blomer’s literary travel memoir Sugar Ride: Cycling from Hanoi to Kuala
Lumpur (Palimpsest, 2017). Not only am I a touring cyclist and type-one
diabetic like Blomer; I’m also an English professor who’s fond of poetry and literary
travel writing. No wonder no less than five different friends offered me copies
of the book. And no wonder I like it so much.
