The Atlas by William T. Vollmann

4.0

William Vollman's take on travel writing?...though the destinations are as much an Atlas of his worldview and experience than any sort of guide for bohemian backpackers...besides, Vollman relishes going where others would never want or dare to...perhaps not since Hunter Thompson have the lines between the worlds of novel writing and journalism been so blurred... vivid, surrealistic, sordid, sensational, and...in a word amazing....
