Summary: "Wide-awake and sensuously lyrical, Mark Mordue's Dastgah gets in behind the shell of the familiar, reminding us that the world is vast and strange and that everything is-in case we've forgotten-happening for the first time."-Sven Birkerts, Editor of AGNI and author of My Sky Blue Trades: Growing Up Counter in a Contrary Time "As much as travel books are my favorite genre of novels, and as deeply as they are rooted in the 19th century, before the invention of photography and then film, Mark has written the first one that takes this precious and rare species into the 21st century."-Wim Wenders, director of Paris, Texas; Wings of Desire; and Buena Vista Social Club. "An extraordinary and dazzling voyage across continents and into the mind. Mordue's book is almost impossible to summarize-reportage, reflection and poetry are all conjured onto the page as he grapples with the state of the world and his place in it."-Giles Milton, author of Nathaniel's Nutmeg Australian writer Mark Mordue invites you to journey with him from a Rolling Stones concert in Istanbul to conversations with mullahs and junkies in Tehran, and from a cricket match in Calcutta to an S&M bar in New York, as well as many points in between. Mordue chronicles his year long global trip with his girlfriend, Lisa Nicol, exploring countries many Westerners never see as well as issues of world citizenship in the 21st century. Dastgah will take you to all kinds of places across the world and inside yourself. The word "dastgah" is drawn from Persian classical music. In order to play a dastgah with fellow musicians, an entire "map" must be memorized. How you then play a dastgah is entirely up to you. Mark Mordue's work has been published in Interview, Madison, Speak, The Nation and Salon in the U.S., as well as Rolling Stone, Vogue, GQ, The Australian and Sydney Morning Herald in Australia. Mordue is the winner of a 1992 Human Rights Media Award, and from 1992 to 1997, he was the founding editor of Australia's leading pop culture magazine Australian Style.

Dastgah: From a lightning storm in Calcutta to heroin addicts in Tehran, from a dead boy by a roadside in the Nepalese Himalaya to New York disappearing in a mist, Dastgah maps a one-year journey across the planet. Private reflections, comic anecdotes, poetry, dreams and the radical spirit of new journalism are all called upon in this ambitious travel story collection. Together they weave through questions of identity and love on the road, building into a refined diary that walks the line between reporting on the world and getting lost in it. Dastgah is an existential journal for the modern traveller, a headtrip that will take you to all kinds of places across the world and inside your self.`I just took a trip around the world in one go, first zigzagging my way through this incredible book, and finally, almost feverishly, making sure I hadn`t missed out on a chapter along the way. I`m not sure what I`d call it now: a road movie of the mind, a diary, a love story, a new version of the subterranean homesick and wanderlust blues - anyway, it`s a great ride. Paul Bowles and Kerouac are in the back, and Mark Mordue has taken over the wheel of that pick-up truck from Bruce Chatwin, who`s dozing in the passenger seat.As much as travel books are my favourite genre of novels, and as deeply as they are rooted in the nineteenth century, before the invention of photography and then film, Mark has written the first one that takes this precious and rare species into the twenty-first century.` - WIM WENDERS, director of Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire and Buena Vista Social Club.
