I was an adolescent fantasy nerd in Oshkosh, WI, when I learned that Fonstad was from my town, and it was an epiphanic realization that you could be from flyover country and do creative, ambitious things. She was a hero, and it was an honor getting to write this.

Arthur Frommer, 95, Dies; His Guidebooks Opened Travel to the Masses After publishing β€œEurope on 5 Dollars a Day” in 1957, he went on to build an empire of guidebooks, package tours, hotels and other services.

Struggling to find the words.

Arthur Frommer played a HUGE role in opening travel/tourism up to the masses. He inspired my mom in the 1960sβ€”and me, a generation later. I followed in his footsteps for my first book. Felt like I knew him.

Devastated.

This is the most incredible object in my house. Scientists should study it. A perfectly lovely ceramic dripper that manages not to fit on any mug ever created, no matter the size of the mug. Quantum shit.
