Whether navigating the backroads of Louisiana or Thuringia, exploring the snowy Quebec woods or performing onstage at Rush concerts, Neil Peart has stories to tell.

Review
"The reader is riding shotgun as Peart provides an intimate narrative of the places he’s seen and the strangers he’s met." Toronto Star
"He has a keen eye for the physical beauty of the different landscapes he encounters . . . For rock fans and readers who enjoy a good road epic, this work will have great appeal." Booklist
”One does not need to be a Rush fan to appreciate Peart's story telling. It's a beautiful text, rife with interesting photos, anecdotes, and factoids” The Huffington Post
”Experience the sheer joy Peart takes in life and his passion for sharing it with others. Far less scandalous than rock drummer writes book’ might suggest but far more interesting, too. Kirkus Reviews
"This is a fine travelogue that fans and general readers alike should enjoy.” PublishersWeekly.com
"If you have a Rush fan, travel enthusiast, motorcycle rider, or an artist on your Christmas list (or all of the above), Peart’s new book seems like a perfect gift." Waterloo Chronicle
"Far and Near appeals to a very broad audience of readers; if you enjoy travel writing, memoirs, photography, or the music of Rush you will want to read this book." The Book Binder’s Daughter
