All the World's a Mall

"While the apparent goal of the narrative is to learn about the world’s largest malls, Gremaud’s journey is as much about globalization, income inequality, and the author’s own multicultural heritage as it is about shopping." Karen Sternheimer, University of Southern California

"We feel Gremaud’s exhaustion as she crosses yet another time zone, entering another mega-mall where she is unlikely to see the light of day for hours or breathe fresh air. Her observations of her fellow travellers are razor sharp." Jonathan Kaplansky, literary translator

"Any tourist can describe Burmese jungles or the snows of Kilimanjaro. It takes talent to write a travel book about shopping malls....All The World’s A Mall pops and snaps.... All The World’s A Mall is fresh and funny and sad. It is the best thing since free parking."
