Review of Anywhere But Now


This 14+ minute personal essay does threaten to go off track from time to time but I was suprised at its ablity to snap back with enough twists and turns and actual suprises to make the self-aware narrator's navel-gazing funny, intelligent and, in the end, worth it. It's a refreshing take on a well-trod topic and could find a nice home on any station with a good-sized college audience or during graduation time. The mix of essay with tape and sound effects / music works well.
