Rooms of One's Own: 50 Places That Made Literary History by Adrian Mourby

4.0

I enjoyed this literary journey that allowed me to peek into the writing spaces of well loved authors around the world. Each short chapter included an introduction to the author, their connection to the particular room/apartment/space, and some information about that particular space or street. This expansion beyond a simple biography of each author was welcome. I felt I was able to get a taste for each style and space without being overwhelmed or bogged down. One area that I think could be improved is visiting authors outside of western/anglo-centric personalities. While some places around the world were highlighted, the authors were England/American/Western European dominant.
