Paul Theroux is an award-winning travel writer and novelist, who has the recipe for telling compelling stories about faraway lands pretty well figured out. He's also the editor who compiled the "2014 Best American Travel Writing" series who shared some of his best tips for travel writing, which include: the most terrible travel experiences make the best stories; the writer can make you see, feel and smell a place; and a travel writer has the sensibilities of a fiction-writer. Theroux also explains why he doesn't plan to write any more books about Africa, and why he's so curious about the American South.
