Description

Escrito como una serie de ensayos autobiográficos, Una guía sobre el arte de perderse se basa en momentos y relaciones emblemáticos en la vida de Rebecca Solnit para explorar la incertidumbre, la confianza, la pérdida, la memoria, el deseo y los lugares. Si bien es profundamente personal, sus propias historias se vinculan con historias más grandes, desde narraciones en cautiverio de los primeros estadounidenses hasta el uso del color azul en la pintura renacentista, sin mencionar los encuentros con tortugas, monjes, punk rockers, montañas, desiertos y la película Vértigo. El resultado es un viaje de descubrimiento distintivo y estimulante. Bellamente escrito, este libro combina memorias, historia y filosofía, arrojando una nueva y brillante luz sobre la forma en que vivimos ahora.
