Solnit takes us into the lives of others—an arctic cannibal, the young Che Guevara among the leprosy afflicted, a blues musician, an Icelandic artist and her labyrinth—to understand warmth and coldness, kindness and imagination, decay and transformation, making art and making self. This captivating, exquisitely written exploration of the forces that connect us and the way we tell our stories is a tour de force of association, a marvelous Russian doll of a book that is a fitting companion to Solnit's much-loved \u003ci\u003eA Field Guide to Getting Lost\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380388233471,"sku":"9780143125495","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143125495_s600x595.jpg?v=1775590544","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143125495","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
