In Passing Through, twenty-one new authors write about the places they know best and the places they visited only once but will never forget.

Between these covers, readers will discover twenty-six stories detailing life in places as public as New York City and as secret as a military bunker; in places as familiar as home and as strange as foreign lands; in places as quiet as an island morning and as frenzied as a night club.

Meet the characters who make a place unique. Learn the unspoken social etiquette of college and the rules for navigating a hookup joint. Discover lonely corners and spots where you'll never be alone.
