What happens to a real, working community when a fictional landscape is physically constructed on top of it?

We discover the socio-economic friction behind literary travel, contrasting the magical ideals of Gabriel García Márquez’s Macondo with the unpaved streets of Aracataca, Colombia. Behind the “front stage” of tourist attractions are bulldozers, evictions, and even a violent army.

𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑾𝒂𝒚𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔: “𝑹𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒗𝒆” -

We waited for “beloved”

and forgot our street number

When you died, grandfather,

your lips pursed around a “ku-” . . .

𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑵𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒔 - "𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝑷𝒕. 1 - 𝑨𝒖𝒓𝒂 & 𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚"

Why do we drive thousands of miles just to touch the wooden beams of an author's birthplace?

From Poe's Baltimore to PEI and Waywords's own Waterford, MI, we consider what it takes to build a literary destination and how this works to undermine the very real need for we travelers to cross the threshold from the literary into the physical. Is there a way to thwart the hucksters of simulations? Perhaps!

Who carries the weight of our leisure?

Some readings from the past by thoughtful and resilient women! Take in some early writing of place and circumstance, journals and reflections which reflect the jarring collisions between our travel expectations and the realities we meet. More, we learn that an adaptable attitude and skeptical eye are essential tools.
