Description
Jenny Diski's attempt to keep still and mentally idle resulted in a year of travel and introspection. She spent time in New Zealand, Lapland, and elsewhere, keeping a record of her thoughts and experiences.
Interwoven with descriptions of her journeys are musings on more mundane topics: a sore foot, childhood desires, the challenges of growing older, and the occasional fascination with spiders or fundamentalism. Diski's writing is a candid exploration of her own mind and body.
