From the author of the memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence, a personal, lyrical narrative about storytelling and empathy a fitting companion to Solnits A Field Guide to Getting Lost

A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award

In this exquisitely written book by the author of A Paradise Built in Hell, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination.

In the course of unpacking some of her own storiesof her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illnessSolnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelleys Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self.

Woven together, these stories create a map which charts the boundaries and territories of storytelling, reframing who each of us is and how we might tell our story.
