Rebecca Solnit investigates the nature of loss, losing and being lost. She starts with the revelation that what is totally unknown to you is usually what you most need to discover and explores how finding that unknown quantity frequently requires getting lost to begin with.
Solnit is a great writer, but this book felt like it was forced and it just didn't do it for me. Where I should have been swept away by her prose and lush descriptions, I found myself skipping ahead because the writing felt gratuitous.
A contemplation of lost-ness of all kinds; indeterminacy, infinitude, distance and loss, told through art, history, philosophy, place and self. Appropriately, a book to get lost in.
