An intriguing inquiry into how writers map their work and how maps tell
stories.

Peter Turchi posits the idea that maps help people understand where they
are in the world in the same way that literature, whether realistic or
experimental, attempts to explain human realities. The author explores
how writers and cartographers use many of the same devices for plotting
and executing their work, making crucial decisions about what to include
and what to leave out in order to get from here to there without excess
baggage or confusing surplus of information.
