A stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown from the author of Recollections of My NonexistenceWritten 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.
