Marco Polo Didn't Go There is a collection of rollicking travel
tales from a young writer USA Today has called "Jack Kerouac for
the Internet Age." For the past ten years, Rolf Potts has taken his
keen postmodern travel sensibility into the far fringes of five
continents for such prestigious publications as National Geographic
Traveler, Salon.com, and The New York Times Magazine. This book
documents his boldest, funniest, and most revealing journeys--from
getting stranded without water in the Libyan desert, to crashing
the set of a Leonardo DiCaprio movie in Thailand, to learning the
secrets of Tantric sex in a dubious Indian ashram. Marco Polo
Didn't Go There is more than just an entertaining journey into
fascinating corners of the world. The book is a unique window into
travel writing, with each chapter containing a "commentary
track"--endnotes that reveal the ragged edges behind the experience
and creation of each tale. Offbeat and insightful, this book is an
engrossing read for students of travel writing as well as armchair
wanderers.
