A punk rock vision quest told in the tradition of
the anarchist travel story, Off the Map is
narrated by two young women as they discard their
maps, fears, and anything resembling a plan, and
set off on the winds of the world. Without the
smug cynicism that seems to permeate most modern
radical tales, this story is told with genuine
hope, and a voice that never loses its connection
with the mysteries of life, even in the midst of
everyday tragedies. Wandering across Europe, the
dozens of vignettes are the details of the whole—a
squatted castle surrounded by tourists on the
Spanish coast, a philosophizing businessman on the
highways of France, a plaça full of los crustos in
Barcelona, a diseased foot in a Belgian train
squat, a glow bug on the dew-covered grass of
anywhere—a magical, novel-like folktale for the
end of the world.
