Alibis: Essays on Elsewhere by André Aciman

4.0

I started this book in January and have taken it with me while I travel. His writing evokes certain emotions I feel while I'm elsewhere and enlightens me to look at and pay attention to my surroundings. I find connections. I think introspectively.

"Lavender" and "A Literary Pilgrim Progresses to the Past" are my favorite essays and thus I give it the four star rating for that. Not all the essays were enjoyed, but most contained a line or two that I highlighted for reflection upon a future pick-up from my shelf.
