Publisher Description

Compact. Contemplative. Mobile. Elliptical. One one hand, this is my Anti-Lonely-Planet manifesto. Working to critique forms of commercial and colonial travel that have taken over our imaginations of the world. On the other hand, this is the best I can do in crafting a sincere text that is meant to be read while travelling. A text that inspires contact with strangers, that changes meaning based on where/when you read it, that never offers answers, and most simply is a companion to the loneliness and fear one encounters when out in the world. I designed it to be read from any page. Containing many routes that offer different experiences. Gathered loosely into the 4 sections of any journey: Almost Gone, Gone, Long Gone, and Back. Each section lingers in a sense of that experience. (Publisher's Description)
