"Now in his mid-seventies, Russell Banks has indulged his wanderlust for more than half a century. In this ... anthology, he writes that since childhood he has 'longed for escape, for rejuvenation, for wealth untold, for erotic and narcotic and sybaritic fresh starts, for high romance, mystery and intrigue.'
