Boy meets Girl, Boy marries Girl, and years later Boy mysteriously disappears in this Gordon Lish -style novel.
People are disappearing. And when they return, they can't say where they've been: "I was nowhere.... And then one day I was back."
At the heart of Not Anywhere, Just Not is a middle-aged couple who still consider themselves to be a boy and a girl, like they were when they first met.

Not Anywhere, Just Not is...
