HarperCollins

In this hilarious and often touching collection, the New York Times bestselling author, television writer, and producer takes us with him on travels across the globe. Gary Janetti has gained a devoted following, with a huge audience on social media and two bestselling collections of essays under his belt. His new collection will prompt laughter but also delighted recognition as Janetti tackles the absurdity and glory of travel. 

In "We Are Experiencing a Slight Delay," he shares stories of his varied trips around the world. Tag along as he enjoys an unexpectedly transformative stay at a rigorous Italian spa where he and his husband go from deep grumpiness to exaltation. Take a ride on the Orient Express to Venice and discover a surprising side of London, including a hilarious dinner with actress Maggie Smith. And pull up a deck chair to watch the entertainment as Gary embarks on a family cruise on the Queen Mary 2. 

Interspersed with recollections of his trips are personal meditations on dining alone as well as journeys to such diverse destinations as Mykonos, Australia, a Noma pop-up, and other glamorous spots. Gary is unabashedly frank about his very exacting travel needs and delivers practical advice on all aspects of the traveler's life, from very precise packing instructions to suggestions on how to get upgrades, along with restaurant and hotel recommendations in his favorite cities. 

Aspirational, charmingly acerbic, and as diverting as the best holiday can be, delivering both laughs and moments of sharp recognition, Gary's funny collection is the perfect getaway companion for both seasoned nomads and curious armchair travelers.
