"Other Places, a mouth-watering feast of short stories, poems, narrative non-fiction, and in-depth interviews, is the latest anthology from the much-admired Lowestoft Chronicle, an eclectic and innovative online journal. Packed into the pages are stories to entice, enthrall, and entertain. Litchfield also serves up a tasty blend of pleasing and deftly prepared poems. And if you still aren't sated by this literary banquet, tuck into Litchfield's incisive and enlightening interviews with three critically acclaimed, multitalented writers." --Lancashire Evening Post

"I really loved the latest anthology from Lowestoft, Other Places. It's a brilliant, savory, sharp, amusing and varied taste of my favorite magazine, Lowestoft Chronicle. I'm delighted that a place exists for this kind of travel writing -- if that's a term for it. And it's not a good one. This is just great writing about place, ranging from the spirit of place to the human spirit. Go anywhere with Lowestoft. And enjoy the trip." --Jay Parini, internationally bestselling author of The Passages of H.M.

Filled with fiction, nonfiction and poetry about travel and destinations, the book brings the far corners of the world to the reader's armchair.

The antidote is Lowestoft Chronicle's most recent anthology, Other Places-a collection of essays, stories, and poetry devoted to the in-depth experience of culture.
