No Particular Place to Go

by Hugo Williams

'A hilarious book of bad times, bedtimes and benders. It is a kind of cool parody of "On the Road."' New Statesman"No Particular Place"" to Go" (first published in 1981) relates Hugo Williams' journey across the USA on a three-month poetry-reading tour wherein he also hoped to discover some of the America he had imagined for so long on the strength of its all-consuming popular culture.'"No Particular Place to Go" isn't a book that you'd take on a visitor's itinerary of the States... But the journey it describes is a potent one... It offered a poet's eye on modern culture, a cool, sideways perspective on its consumers and an enviable traveller's voice - not just unafraid of meeting the locals but positively keen to jump in and grab whatever was on offer.' John Walsh, Independent
