Review
"What could be more delightful--and unsettling--than turning loose a group of contemporary surrealists, disguised as vagabonds and artists, in the ripe fields of the hyper-real? "Experimental Geography "isn't about space; it is about terminal strangeness."
--Mike Davis, author of "City of Quartz "and "Ecology of Fear"
