Beautifully written, this book combines memoir, history and philosophy, shedding glittering new light on the way we live now.
Whether she is contemplating the history of walking as a cultural and political experience over the past two hundred years (Wanderlust), or using the life of photographer Eadweard Muybridge as a lens to discuss the transformations of space and time in late nineteenth-century America (River of Shadows), Rebecca Solnit has emerged as an inventive and original writer whose mind is daring in the connections it makes. A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Solnit’s own life to explore issues of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown. The result is a distinctive, stimulating, and poignant voyage of discovery.Rebecca Solnit is a writer, activist, columnist and cultural historian based in San Francisco. Her more than twenty acclaimed non-fiction books include Hope in the Dark, Wanderlust, The Faraway Nearby and Men Explain Things to Me. Her honours include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Lannan Literary Award.
