The Winter 2008 issue of Town & Country Travel has my account of 10 days in Patagonia.  It does not have my account of drinking Famous Grouse over chunks of glacial ice just pulled from the lake, which alone is worth the long and complicated trip to the end of the world.  I left that part out because at some point my editor told me, “Katherine. We need to go a little lighter on the drinking.”

I am stalking the Literary Death Match.  Or they’re stalking me.  Either way, I’ll be in NY next week:
