What happens when the minibus full of your fellow wedding travellers hits a bear in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness? From a lonely excursion to a Lisbon cafe to the sometimes disorienting experience of emerging from a New York subway, this work focuses on a range of subjects related to travel.
What happens when the minibus full of your fellow wedding travellers hits a bear in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness? Or you hear the voice of your high school's long lost queen bee from a bathroom cubicle? For Sloane Crosley, these are the kind of transformative experiences that define our daily struggle to connect, however reluctantly, to our fellow man. While the title "Show Me on the Doll" refers to the afternoon TV specials of the 80s and 90s, it doubles as a plea from the author for a kind of instruction manual to navigate the difficult journeys of adulthood. From a lonely excursion to a Lisbon cafe to the sometimes disorienting experience of emerging from a New York subway, Sloane's new collection of essays will focus on a range of subjects related to travel.

SLOANE CROSLEY's work has appeared in the New York Times, the New York Observer, The Village Voice, GQ, Playboy Magazine and numerous other literary journals and websites. In her free time, she serves as a publicist at Vintage Books. This is her second collection of essays.
