From Booklist
Lonely Planet's annual anthology contains 30 thrilling and bizarre stories. In some of them, the authors intentionally traveled to "Nowhere" but experience unintended consequences. In others, the writers stumbled on "Nowhere" by accident and recounted the adventures that ensued. George writes in his introduction that regardless of specific setting, situation, or state of mind, what all these pieces share is "the quality of disorientedness." The locations range from Tuscany to Timbuktu, Antarctica to Yap, and from Equatorial Guinea to Pol Pot's toilet in Cambodia. Others include the Ottawa County Museum in Kansas (it looked like a glorified machine shed), South Georgia (so isolated that baby fur seals would follow humans like puppies), and Borneo, where there are only two destinations, upriver and down. The book offers readers a chance to travel to "Nowhere" without ever leaving home.
