PLACES: A Jack Carter Story

Jack Carter didn’t set out to write a book. He just kept moving.

From ferry decks and telex rooms to street cafés and border towns, Places follows a journalist who thought he was chasing stories — only to realize he was writing one of his own. Told through quiet moments and sharp observations, these snapshots capture the rhythm of life on the road: arrivals, reveals, shifts, and departures.

Set against the backdrop of the early 1980s and a world in transition, Places is a meditation on movement, memory, and what we carry when we stop running.

No headlines. No heroes. Just a man and his notebook, trying to make sense of where he’s been.
