Andrew Dickson:
Out of all the places you visited while researching Worlds Elsewhere, did you have a favorite?
Andrew Dickson
It's difficult to choose just one, because I had so many interesting experiences in many countries. South Africa was very hard -- it's a tough place to write about, as well as challenging to travel around -- but I met some very inspiring people and learned a lot about culture under the apartheid regime. India was logistically very hard (no one ever answers your calls, especially in Mumbai!), but the culture is so rich and complex, as well as the country being so vast. Even after multiple visits I've barely scratched the surface. The American West I have to say I love -- digging around odd corners of California for the history of Shakespeare in the Gold Rush was enormous fun, partly because the material is so fascinating, and pretty much new to me.
