On Walking ... and Stalking Sebald: A Guide to Going Beyond Wandering Around Looking at Stuff by Phil Smith. This book is a unique blend of walking, art, and intellectual curiosity. It follows the author's walk around East Anglia, retracing W.G. Sebald's famous 'Rings of Saturn' route, taking in lost villages, Cold War testing sites, and other intriguing locations. Along the way, Smith shares his erudition, originality, and humour, creating a remarkable and thought-provoking journey. Beyond its walk descriptions, On Walking offers a new kind of walking experience, one that burrows beneath the surface to reveal hidden meanings and connections. This book is perfect for anyone looking to take their walks beyond mere observation, and explore the art, politics, and culture that underlies our everyday experiences. With its eclectic mix of subjects, including Situationism, alchemy, and psychogeography, On Walking is an intellectual tour de force that will appeal to readers interested in a wide range of topics.
