Accidentally Wes Anderson: Adventures
Adventure awaits in this new visual odyssey from Accidentally Wes Anderson, taking readers on stunning trips to every continent and sharing oddly moving human tales along the way.

For lovers of travel, design, and exploration, AWA presents a brand-new collection of real-world places that seem plucked from the films of Wes Anderson, and the stories that bring each location to life.

You'll venture to Antarctica through the treacherous Drake Passage, make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where platypuses outnumber people), discover the bridge in Wisconsin that went to nowhere, and drop into the most peculiar umbrella shop in London.

But adventure means nothing without someone to tell the tale.

You'll meet the father of American skydiving, who created the officially-sanctioned center of Earth-a California town with a population of two. You'll visit the “post office at the end of the world”-and meet its mustachioed letter carrier, who runs an anarchist island nation in his free time. And you'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are prohibited, humans may not be buried, and doomsday vaults hold all we need to survive an apocalypse-including the secret recipe for the Oreo cookie.

Authorized by the legendary filmmaker himself, Accidentally Wes Anderson Adventures reminds us that the world is ours to explore.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Gorgeous… Wally Koval is an expert on how to find beauty everywhere—including when you travel…. Each photo in the book is accompanied by a story… [and] the blurbs are so compelling that they have their own companion audiobook narrated by Jeff Goldblum.”—Thrillist

“Places around the world… that capture Anderson’s whimsical, colorful, retro aesthetic. Even Anderson himself wants to visit a few.” —Los Angeles Times

OCTOBER 2024 - AudioFile

This delightful travel audiobook features commentary and an accompanying pdf of photos of unique, quirky, and splendid sites around the world that emulate renowned film director Wes Anderson's visual style. Seamus McMahon is a capable narrator, and Jeff Goldblum brings all his acting chops to his performance. With his well-tuned variations in tone and pace, Goldblum's sections, in particular, are irresistible. The sites are interesting, as well: Vermont features an opera house that spans Canada and the US, and "Oxbridge" (Oxford and Cambridge, in England) illuminates such academic eccentricities as rules that state who may walk on the lawns. The North Pole and the Antarctic get star billing, too. Travelers, architecture buffs, and the simply curious will find much to listen to and look at here. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
