A Field Guide to Getting Lost

For the person who walks or writes in order to get a little lost on purpose.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

Rebecca Solnit's essays on wandering, blue distance, and the uses of not knowing where you are.

Three reasons

  1. It treats uncertainty as a place, not a problem.
  2. A literary gift that is not another novel they may already own.
  3. Short essays, so it can live in a bag.
