Lose Seiten eines Märchens, genannt "Die Perlenkarawane": Seit einer Berliner Winternacht vor über dreißig Jahren ist Helge Timmerberg davon fasziniert - und von seiner Erfinderin, Elsa Sophia von Kamphoevener. Als Mann verkleidet hatte sie an türkischen Lagerfeuern die besten Erzählungen gesammelt. Mit großer Wucht und Sinn für Komik schildert Timmerberg, wie die Geschichte der Märchenbaronin ihm immer wieder Türen, Herzen und Geldbörsen öffnete.

In 1955, a young TV producer named David Attenborough was approached by six graduates determined to drive the entire length of Eurasia from London to Singapore. It was the "unclimbed Everest of motoring"—many had tried, none had succeeded. The 19,000-mile journey captivated a nation. Fifty years later, Attenborough said he didn't think the journey could be made again today. Inspired and desperate to prove Attenborough wrong, Alex Bescoby contacted Tim Slessor and together they planned to recreate the trip, this time from Singapore to London.

Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars for them. They’re high culture, they’re low culture, they’re sports food, they’re kids' food, they’re hangover food, and they’re deeply American, despite having no basis whatsoever in America's Indigenous traditions. You can love them, you can hate them, but you can’t avoid the great American hot dog. Raw Dog is part investigation into the cultural and culinary significance of hot dogs and part travelogue documenting a cross-country road trip researching them as they’re served today.
