This is the grand fiction of tourism, that bringing our bodies somewhere draws that place closer to us, or we to it. It's a quick fix of empathy. - Leslie Jamison, "La Frontera"
You're just a tourist inside someone else's suffering until you can't get it out of your head; until you take it home with you--across a freeway, or a country, or an ocean. - Leslie Jamison, "Pain Tours (I)"
