Anthony Doerr is the author of four books, The Shell Collector, About Grace, Four Seasons in Rome, and, most recently, Memory Wall, which takes place on four continents and addresses issues from Alzheimer's in South Africa to infertility in Wyoming to fishing for endangered sturgeon in Lithuania.
Rolf Potts has reported from more than sixty countries for the likes of National Geographic Traveler, The New Yorker, Slate.com and Outside. He is perhaps best known for promoting the ethic of independent travel and his book on the subject, Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel and, more recently, Marco Polo Didn't Go There: Stories and Revelations from One Decade as a Postmodern Travel Writer.
