Obviously, travel writerss behavior in what regards capturing Otherness n rendering it

in text may vary from author to author n even for t same author. While t horizons of
expectation n t pact of factual reading f t genre may limit t extent of engagement wi
fiction, namely by endangering reputation if fictional liberties become known, this is a
possibility. Even if one assumes t compromise of travel writers in trying to convey
experience in their writings, they may influence t kinds of experiences ty r likely to have
due to a priori general impressions or knowledge about a society, for example, by
looking for cases tt may illustrate those general views. As noted above, Franck
Arencibia seems to b an extreme case of this.
