Spanning twenty-five years of personal milestones, Land of Allusions offers a candid look into Andrew Davie's life.

From New York's theater scene to classrooms across the globe, from fleeting online romances to unexpected medical crises, Davie invites readers into a life that never stays in one place for long.

Managing obsessive-compulsive disorder and coming face to face with a ruptured brain aneurysm, he examines the threads that tie purpose to persistence. With sharp wit and a wealth of cultural references, Davie finds connection in the disjointed—linking boxing legends to Fulbright grants, failed documentaries to self-discovery, and awkward first dates to the human need for belonging.

Poignant, funny and honest, Land of Allusions is a memoir of reinvention and the strange poetry of life when it refuses to go according to plan.
