A polished, front-to-back performance by David Pickering of Avram Davidson’s masterwork on Sinbad: a lyrical, scholarly, and funny voyage that charts the blurred edge where sailors’ yarns become maps.
• From Baghdad to Basra and out across monsoon routes
• Kabil/Kasil and the “drums” of hollow rocks; giants with barge-long ears
• Diamond valleys, sea-horses, and why travelers fib (beautifully)
• Roc feathers, Raphia palms, and the spoor of real geography inside fable
• How “Serendip” gave us serendipity
