Book release party and reading by the author. "A Journey With Orvis" by Mose Tuzik Mosley (Island Earth Press, 2024)

“My favorite travel book of the year. We all wish we could have a dog like Orvis. Smart, innocent, open minded, and completely imaginary…..” J. Vincent Benjamin, Ben’s Books

Recently nominated for the Oregon Book Award in non-fiction. Reading by the author and book signing to follow.

In the backyard of a dusty junk shop (Fossil, Oregon, pop. 448) the author, a seasoned travel writer, meets the traveling companion of his dreams: An imaginary dog named Orvis. What follows is a journey through vast distances of open space (Eastern Oregon), congested neighborhoods of urban sprawl (Mexico City) and the old world of modern Europe (Istanbul, Sofia, Zagreb, Paris, London and Wrexham, Wales) Together they discover a challenging world of diversity and self-reflection, solitude and togetherness, always spiced with a dog’s view of human foibles and the sophisticated sense of humor of an American tourist (cue the irony).

A Journey With Orvis breaks the mold of typical travel writing. The places are real, the people are real, only the dog is imaginary.

Or is he?
