Rebecca Solnit investigates the nature of loss, losing and being lost. She starts with the revelation that what is totally unknown to you is usually what you most need to discover and explores how finding that unknown quantity frequently requires getting lost to begin with.

A Field Guide to Getting Lost

4 étoiles

A contemplation of lost-ness of all kinds; indeterminacy, infinitude, distance and loss, told through art, history, philosophy, place and self. Appropriately, a book to get lost in.
