About the Book

In Travels with Ernest: Crossing the Literary/Sociological Divide, Laurel Richardson and Ernest Lockridge_accomplished sociologist and published novelist_explore the fascinating interplay between literary and ethnographic writing. The exciting result is an intriguing experimental text that simultaneously delves into, reveals, simplifies, and complicates methodologies of writing and conveying experience. Refusing to force their unique voices into one integrated account, the authors_also spouses_explicate their stories in separate narratives and then discuss in transcribed 'free-wheeling' conversations their different constructions of their travels together, travels simultaneously experienced, but recalled and related differently through the filters of distinct professional perceptions, life histories, and interiors. This boundary-crossing text will provide an ideal platform for students and professors interested in understanding and exploring the absorbing complexities and possibilities of ethnographic writing and creative nonfiction.

Review :
This exciting collaboration between Laurel Richardson and Ernest Lockridge is a writing story that documents the changing relationship of two writers, scholars, and lovers as they interpret differently their travels. Blurring the genres between ethnography, travel writing, science writing, and memoir, this experiment works in unexpected ways to challenge our notions of gender, space and place, and the possibilities of relationship in a postmodern world. A powerful and provocative exemplar of writing as inquiry, Travels with Ernest offers new and exciting possibilities for collaborative storytelling. There is no other book like it.
