Off Season
An English man does not travel to see English men
Laurence Sterne
I have always been an off-season traveler. That works well for travel writing because few need writers visiting when flights are jammed and hotels booked. Even if you happen to be on a crowded beach at peak time this summer, Ken McAlpine’s Off Season is a great read.
From Oct. through March McAlpine traveled up the East Coast in the off- season. Popular and seasonal places like Nag’s Head, Montauk and Cape May are displayed at their best. The people buried beneath the seasonal crowds make great reading. It is enough to make me revisit the NE places visited this summer. Winter kayaking anyone?
