Description
A stimulating exploration of wandering and the uses of the unknown, A Field Guide to Getting Lost is a deeply personal journey that weaves together Rebecca Solnit's own stories with larger narratives from history and culture.
Through essays that draw on her experiences in wilderness, cities, and encounters with unexpected people and places, Solnit explores issues of uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and place. Her writing reveals the ways in which we navigate our way through the world, and the stories we use to find ourselves or lose ourselves.
The result is a distinctive and thought-provoking voyage of discovery that invites readers to reflect on their own relationship with the unknown.
