Fun to read before heading to visit Ireland. Loved some of the reflections on travel and tourism in general, and felt like I learned a lot about Ireland. Some chapters felt lost on me.

A beautiful, educational and worthwhile book on traveling, selfhood, and Ireland. One of those books that reminds me why I love language. Solnit's prose and fluid mixing of quotation, metaphor, observation, dialogue, and monologue remind me of Maggie Nelson. Can't wait to make my way through the rest of her bibliography!

I am not sure when I read it but it was beautifully written. I am reading a recent book by Solnit The Mother of All Questions, a stunning feminist tract. She is an exceptional writer and I recommend readers of her recent work who are interested in Ireland, read this book.

I read this book commuting on the bus and between classes and waiting for friends at cafés and migrated with it in my mind. This book is objectively about Ireland but I’m going to remember it as having been about Argentina. I loved it. I really really loved it.
