Wonderlands: Good Gay Travel Writing (2004)
Living up to its title, Wonderlands comes fueled by
wanderlust and features every kind of wonderland. In fact, the
collection's contributors--a mix of established gay writers and the
best of the new generation--don't settle for the obvious. Focusing
on the sheer visceral thrill of travel, the adventure of it, they
set out all over the world and always find something unexpected:
love, passion, history, themselves.
The result is an
anthology of dynamic writing that will motivate readers to book their
next flight, or at least get them dreaming of other places. And the
places are legion. Mack Friedman
sets off into the deceptively butch wilds of Alaska.
Robert Tewdwr Moss tracks through
the back roads of Syria and his own version of Arabian Nights.
Colm Tóibín discovers a Spanish Brigadoon and
Edward Field drinks tea
with Paul Bowles. For Wayne Koestenbaum
Vienna is both a city of high low culture, and for
Philip Gambone Asia becomes a place of
second chances. Raphael Kadushin
settles into the ethereal sun of a Dutch spring,
Michael Lowenthal remembers a jarring encounter in the
Scottish Highlands, and Tim Miller tallies the 1001 beds he has
slept in all over the world. And
Edmund White, in a classic of
elegiac travel writing, recounts his harrowing drive through the
Sahara with a man he loved.
