Članek pokaže, kako potopisi, potopisno leposlovje in kapitalistični stadij turizma predstavljajo Majorko in Ibizo kot isolae rasae oziroma prazni geografiji. Isola rasa pojmovno zajema poblagovljenje teh otokov kot nekakšnih večnih idiličnih krajev brez zgodovine ali lokalne skupnosti, krajev, ki ponujata zaslon za fantazme severnoevropskega turista. Zaradi te transformacije, ki jo lahko spremljamo v literaturi, sredozemski otoki, med katerimi sta Majorka in Ibiza, postajajo eskapistične cone, namenjene popotnikom, ki iščejo čutno zdravilo za odtujenost, ki jo občutijo v svojih lastnih družbah. Članek zastavlja vprašanje, kako sodobno pripovedništvo reproducira in obenem problematizira te obče kraje. Ob branju romanov, kot sta Naked Before the World Luka Rhineharta in The Life Impossible Matta Haiga, se izkaže, da tovrstna literatura homogenizirano turistovo izkušnjo, ki daje obiskovalčevim fantazmam prednost pred lokalnimi problemi, upoveduje na način, ki ponuja kritično obzorje, v katerem lahko načnemo razpravo o okoljski, družbeni in kulturni ceni množičnega turizma.
