“An audaciously ambitious, unfailingly beguiling book. It is intimate and deliberately public all at once, vigorously peripatetic and languidly philosophical, a complex offspring of the tradition of ancient travelogues of ignorance and knowledge.”

— Bookanista, Nov 30 2020

“An inspiring meditation on beauty, architecture, and the essence of modern cities.”

— The Christian Science Monitor, Nov 19 2020

“Atlantis is a breathtaking travelogue, a memoir of father-and-son bonding, and a tribute to the myth all in one.”

— Apple Books, Nov 9 2020

★ “An intimate and insightful chronicle of exploration and revelation.”
