    Living up to its title, Wonderlands comes fueled by wanderlust and features every kind of wonderland. In fact, the collection’s contributors—a mix of established gay writers and the best of the new generation—don’t settle for the obvious. Focusing on the sheer visceral thrill of travel, the adventure of it, they set out all over the world and always find something unexpected: love, passion, history, themselves.     The result is an anthology of dynamic writing that will motivate readers to book their next flight, or at least get them dreaming of other places. And the places are legion. Mack Friedman sets off into the deceptively butch wilds of Alaska. Robert Tewdwr Moss tracks through the back roads of Syria and his own version of Arabian nights. Colm Tobin discovers a Spanish Brigadoon and Edward Field drinks tea with Paul Bowles. For Wayne Koestenbaum Vienna is both a city of high low culture, and for Philip Gambone Asia becomes a place of second chances. Raphael Kadushin settles into the ethereal sun of a Dutch spring. Michael Lowenthal remembers a jarring encounter in the Scottish Highlands, and Tim Miller tallies the 1001 beds he has slept in all over the world. And Edmund White, in a classic of elegiac travel writing, recounts his harrowing drive through the Sahara with a man he loved.

this was much less about travel and place than i expected, but that's ok. that means it was more about personal relationships and exploration, which i like to read about. most of the stories didn't grab me, though, either by their writing or their content. i did, though, very much like boyer rickel's memory and edmund white's story. and i thought that brian bouldrey's contribution was truly excellent and easily the highlight of the book. i'd read him again without hesitation. this wasn't a bad book, and it has a few nice selections, but overall i wasn't impressed.

from the introduction: "The biggest fiction, in the end, is travel writing's own claim to being an objective genre. What does anyone really know about a foreign place that isn't partly his or her own creation? We're always choosing what we see, what we don't see, and whom we meet; we're always inventing our destinations." ( )
