About This Book
Imaginary voyages are as old as literature itself. In the spirit of the ancient mythographer Euhemerus and such imaginary voyagers as Jonathan Swift, Italo Calvino, Daniel Defoe and Bruce Chatwin, Conjunctions 56: Terra Incognita, Imaginary Voyages gathers the outlandish testaments and peripatetic observations of contemporary writers who have been Elsewhere. Through stories, travel diaries, poems, postcards, new ancient legends, epic quests, mind trips, manipulated histories and dispatches from a wide range of innovative authors, readers will travel to places they have surely never visited before. Contributors include Charles Bernstein, Robert Coover, Kathryn Davis, Peter Gizzi, Benjamin Hale, Tim Horvath, John Madera, Donald Revell, Susan Steinberg and G.C. Waldrep.
