Please join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday, October 24 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm for a book signing with Chris Wallace for his book, Another World.

Another World is a sumptuous volume written and photographed by Chris Wallace featuring ten pieces animated by a fascination with culture and identity as seen through the lens of travel. It illustrates the stories we tell ourselves about who we are in the world, the stories we tell ourselves about the people and places we encounter out there, and a consideration of where those stories come from.

Lavishly illustrated with lush photography and teeming with evocative essays (pictures and words all by Christopher Wallace), Another World transports the reader. Included are a dialogue with Nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk in Istanbul and tales of adventure with the bush pilots of Namibia. Road trips through Iraq and into Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, as well as stories set in the Sicilian islands, Tangier, and Hong Kong, a pilgrimage to Jorge Luis Borges’s Buenos Aires, and an homage to the Barcelona of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film The Passenger.

Graydon Carter calls it “Superb…Great photography. And the moods change in all the right places, going from gritty realism to charming and uplifting. Truly one of the best new magazines I’ve seen in a while.”
