Eccentric Islands by Bill Holm, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Bill Holm, often called 'the bard of the Midwest,' takes readers on an excursion to islands both real and symbolic. He journeys to five physical islands: Iceland, Madagascar, Molokai, Isla Mujeres, and Mallard Island. And he travels to conceptual islands, including the Necessary Island of the Imagination, the whimsical Piano Island (located in a man-made lake under the atrium of an upscale hotel in the far interior of China), and the acute isolation of the Island of Pain. Writing withthe mind-set of a 19th-century traveler for whom the journey is as important as the destination, Holm appeals to the traveler and the philosopher in everyone. | Eccentric Islands by Bill Holm, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
