About this listen

Whether she is contemplating the history of walking as a cultural and political experience over the past 200 years (Wanderlust), or using the life of photographer Eadweard Muybridge as a lens to discuss the transformations of space and time in late 19th-century America (River of Shadows), Rebecca Solnit has emerged as an inventive and original writer whose mind is daring in the connections it makes. A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Solnit's own life to explore issues of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown. The result is a distinctive, stimulating, and poignant voyage of discovery.

I really enjoyed a couple of her other books but the subject matter and the thread tying stories together was just not compelling.

However, Rebecca Solnit’s voice is rich and velvety and lovely to listen to. Highly recommend her other audiobooks (and print too).

Not as good as her other works

listening to this audio book has been an incredible journey. I listened to Rebecca Solnits voice on the two hour road trip and in that setting I found my thoughts wandering further than they ever had.

Rebecca's writing style is beautiful and poetic. Her stories leave me lost. And that's one of the best feelings.
