Description

A stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown from the creator of Men Give an explanation for Things To Me

Written as a series of autobiographical essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Rebecca Solnit’s life to explore issues of uncertainty, believe, loss, memory, desire, and place. Solnit is interested within the stories we use to navigate our way during the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. At the same time as deeply personal, her own stories link as much as larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to using the color blue in Renaissance painting, to not mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie Vertigo. The result’s a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.
