A Field Guide to Getting Lost

In this series of personal essays, Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark, explores how being lost can lead to a sense of place. Solnit writes about her experiences with wandering, getting lost, and finding herself through both geographical adventures and examinations of larger stories. These include stories of lost explorers, the color blue in Renaissance artworks, her love of mountains, desert exploration, and punk rock. This is an insightful exploration into the interconnectivity between sense of place and identity.
