Description

Will Ashon's Strange Labyrinth is a thought-provoking exploration of the human search for meaning in a chaotic world. Set against the backdrop of Epping Forest, this non-fiction work weaves together elements of landscape writing, cultural history and personal reflection to create a unique narrative.

A journey through the forest reveals a complex tapestry of characters, from artists and celebrities to outcasts and visionaries. Ashon's writing is both witty and incisive, as he grapples with big questions about identity, belonging and the search for transcendence.

Strange Labyrinth is a compelling argument that finding ourselves doesn't require getting lost, but rather embracing our own uncertainty and impermanence. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in exploring the intersections of nature, culture and the human condition.
