So says Raphael Kadushin, editor of the new anthology Wonderlands: Good Gay Travel Writing. According to an article by Judith Davidoff in Wisconsin’s Capital Times, Kadushin says most gay children and youth, regardless of where they live, grow up with a sense of isolation and detachment: “It’s great training for a travel writer where you’re going to a culture and trying to size it up and get some sense of it as an outsider.” Troy Petenbrink of the Houston Voice writes: “The gay subtext of some of the articles in ‘Wonderlands’ might not always be readily apparent. But the writing is generally captivating and certain to satisfy one’s quest for discovery of the world and one’s place in it.”
