A review by gnatie
A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Could not get into it. Very boring. Thought it was gonna be about exploring new places and benefits of walking but it’s just about male historical figures that walked and their lives. So boring and also a bit sexist bc have women never walked?? Also every time the author refers to a nameless walker, he uses he/him pronouns. I can’t get past that either. Anyone can walk and gendering walking as a default male activity and using he/him as default human pronouns is incredibly sexist and I can’t stand to read shit like that.
