Paradises and Dustscapes

In the midst of Europe, travelers become simultaneously led astray by their GPS units, lost in a mysterious land that lies beyond any modern map. In Bhutan, an actor struggles to put his life back together after a soul-shattering journey to L.A. On the shores of a Spanish coast, a Moroccan immigrant bears witness to a bizarre crime of ecological passion, and on Bali, a cowboy and a young woman explore the brutal equations of love in a sharply unequal world.

Through vivid flashes into different places and spaces, these stories move through the puzzle of this hyper-globalized era: what happens when some people are able to rent corners of paradise, while others are left with dust? The nine works in this edgy collection portray the dreams and adventures of the immigrants, jet-setters, and utopian bohemians who are all searching for a liveable home in during this unrelenting, wondrous & human century.
