imageLonely Planet’s latest literary travel anthology, Tales from Nowhere, just hit bookstores. Edited by Don George, it features dozens of stories from contributors such as Pico Iyer, Simon Winchester, Jeffrey Tayler, Lisa Alpine and Rolf Potts. The stories, the back cover states, “all celebrate and illuminate one simple truth: if we embark on each adventure with an open heart and an open mind, travel will take us places we never planned to go, and enrich and englighten us in ways we never otherwise would have known.” So where is Nowhere? “Nowhere is a setting, a situation and a state of mind. It’s not on any map, but you know it when you’ve been there.” I’m delighted to have a story in the book, too. My Nowhere was a Sizzler restaurant, of all places, in southern Thailand.
