The Carbon Footprint of Ethanol
Travel writing, cooking, and rebuilding — without moralizing, with a bit of irony and a lot of field experience
A former immunology researcher changes his life and hits the road. Madagascar, Thailand, Antarctica, Egypt, Lofoten… Planes, buses, kitchens, ports, hotel rooms, shifts that are too long, mornings that are too bright.
The title carries a subtle irony: a way of settling accounts with oneself, of measuring the absurd, and of moving forward anyway.
It is a book of displacement — geographical, social, intimate — written as close as possible to reality.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE
Travel stories (islands, sea, cold, tropics)
Behind the scenes of expedition kitchens and premium venues
A clear-eyed narrative, sometimes funny, sometimes dark
Very concrete moments: fatigue, temptations, beauty, silence
A journey: falling, holding on, starting over
A former immunology researcher changes his life and hits the road. Madagascar, Thailand, Antarctica, Egypt, Lofoten… Planes, buses, kitchens, ports, hotel rooms, shifts that are too long, mornings that are too bright.
The title plays with the idea of a personal assessment: measuring the absurd, taking stock, and moving forward anyway. It is a book of displacement — geographical, social, and intimate — written as close to reality as possible.
