Revue de presse
"An intriguing amalgam of personal memoir, philosophical speculation, nature lore, cultural history, and art criticism."
--Los Angeles Times
"An altogether sublime collection. . . she sees in the act of embracing the unknown a gateway to self-transcendence."
--Maria Popova, Brainpickings.org
"This indespensable California writer's most personal book yet, alive as ever to the subtle nuances of the natural world, but newly responsive to the promptings of her own heart and history."
--San Fransisco Chronicle
"This meditation on the pleasures and terrors of getting lost is . . . a series of peregrinations, leading the reader to unexpected vistas."
--The New Yorker
"An ode to losing yourself and finding out what's on the other side of familiarity. For Ms. Solnit . . . getting lost is more than a matter of merely physical circumstances. It's a state of mind to be embraced and explored, a gateway to discovering more about yourself in relation to the rest of the world."
--The Dallas Morning News
Présentation de l'éditeur
A stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown from the author of Men Explain Things To Me
Written as a series of autobiographical essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Rebecca Solnit's life to explore issues of uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and place. Solnit is interested in the stories we use to navigate our way through the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. While deeply personal, her own stories link up to larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to the use of the color blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie Vertigo. The result is a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.

Hardcover. Etat : Near fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very good. First edition. An association copy, inscribed on the title page: "For Herb Gold, best wishes, Rebecca Solnit (and Farley)" [the parenthetical difficult to parse . . . perhaps "and fondly"]. Uncommon signed, with no other copies available as of this writing. Herb Gold was an influential San Francisco novelist, journalist, and cultural critic who worked on the fringes of the Beat movement (and ultimately wrote about the Beat scene). As such this is a great Bay Area association, as Solnit has spent her adult life writing in Berkeley and San Francisco. A winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award among other prizes, Solnit remains one of our foremost cultural critics and public intellectuals, in the vein of Joan Didion, and is often a chronicler of the environment and the experience in various landscapes. This book is a series of autobiographical essays "about losing oneself in the pleasures of an experience, about wandering and being lost" and about "the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities." A near fine book with a minor bump to upper corner of front board and light bumping to spine ends. Also a raised seam on the front board along spine that seems a binder's error, and a remainder mark on lower text block face. In a very good jacket with edge wear/rubbing and one crease at bottom of front panel. An excellent association. N° de réf. du vendeur 1365
