PLACES IN BETWEEN (1970)

Stewart walked across central Afghanistan in the midwinter of 2002, navigating high mountain passes and active war zones with little more than a walking stick and an adopted dog. Moving on foot allows him to establish immediate rapport with remote village elders, unearthing centuries of oral history and architectural remnants that remain utterly invisible from military convoys. The narrative provides a remarkable pedestrian study of hospitality, survival, and regional geography at a crucial historical juncture.
