The Atlas ReviewVollmann has almost written the perfect book. He falls short by presenting only singularities and anecdotes regarding his travels. If he had included historical frameworks, or traced the interactions he had, a la Robert Kaplan, to a historical framework that informs the present, the reader would walk away with more. He has balls to travel in some of the places that he has. He allows the reader to step into situations that he or she might find prohibitvely dangerous. He has a sensitive eye to present the hardships of the land of the people in a way that is beautiful and tragic. One of the most disturbing vingettes was a trip in Northern Canada where he saw a hitch hiker being consumed by mosquitoes; she was flailing around going mad. The Bosnia scenes and many of the San Francisco scenes are also memorable. I live in the neighborhood, Mission District, where some of his vingettes take place. I have to say I can certainly see the underside of the city that he is talking about.
Note, this is not a novel. It is more of a travel journal of dissociated experiences and visions. It is a history of the everyday.The Atlas Overview
