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 wanted to like this, but found the reading very hard to follow. Solnit often pauses halfway through a sentence at an unnatural point, in a way that makes it a challenge to correctly parse. This is a flaw when each sentence is so heavy with meaning.
I was somewhat heartened to read other reviews, which similarly say the reading is difficult to follow. It’s not just me!

Fantastic writer, not a great reader.

I was looking forward to hearing this book but couldn’t stand listening to that droning voice. Very disappointed.

Depressing narration

Like most others, I can’t listen for the narration, but I do visit the book when I’m having trouble sleeping. I set the sleep timer and never hear more than the first few hypnotically delivered sentences…

Good for insomnia

Listening to this book is like mini meditations, on the histories, natural worlds and the sensations we receive from them. The arousal of geotainment. Highly recommend you treat each chapter as a gift of mindful richness.

A mapping of the emotional worlds

Solnit's observations of human and non-human life are some of the deepest, truest, most nuanced and broadly informed, that I have ever come across in my 70 years, and her writing is breathtakingly beautiful. This exquisite book is only enhanced by her own reading. After listening to the first hour, I bought a hard copy to put away in a 'time capsule' of treasures I am collecting for my granddaughter for when she is older.

One of the greatest books ever written
