Publisher's Note A series of autobiographical essays draws on key moments and relationships in the author's life to explore such issues as trust, loss, and desire, in a volume that focuses on a central theme of losing oneself in the pleasures of experience. By the author of River of Shadows and Wanderlust.
Industry Reviews "Largely autobiographical meditations and wanderings through landscapes external and internal....Elegant essays marked by surprising shifts and unexpected connections." Kirkus (05/01/2005)
"This meditation on the pleasures and terrors of getting lost is...less a coherent argument than a series of peregrinations, leading the reader to unexpected vistas." New Yorker (08/08/2005)
"For my part, I could easily have lost myself in this book for 100 more pages. Solnit's work at its best is as fresh as an orange....[A FIELD GUIDE TO GETTING LOST] has something close to perfect pitch, an intermezzo in an increasingly impressive career." Nation - Michael Gorra (11/21/2005)
