Description
The Paper Lantern by Will Burns A single speaker reflects on the shifts in mood and understanding that have defined a surreal period in their own history and the surrounding area. Set against the backdrop of a shuttered pub, the narrator embarks on walks in the Chiltern Hills, evoking memories of trauma and uncertainty. As they explore the landscape, the narrator draws on local history, including landmarks like Halton House, to make sense of the present. The lockdown period, climate change, and capitalism are among the themes that emerge from this introspective journey. A complex and lived-in portrait of a place is revealed, one that is both tangible and deeply personal. This book offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is rooted in the writer's own experiences and observations.
