theparisreview:

“The book is, on one level, a walking tour through the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, Sebald’s adopted home (he’d taught literature at the UEA there since 1970). The reader moves with the melancholic narrator from town to town, village to village, but in the process—through an astonishing network of associations, tangents, and apparent coincidences—one is led all over the world, into many different times, and many different lives.”

Finding Your Way Without Map or Compass

Life in the woods invites a keener awareness in all of us and over decades of research and adventure, Harold Gatty elevated this awareness to an art, assembling what is easily the most exhaustive and engaging book ever written on wilderness pathfinding.

From the shape of anthills, to the color of clouds, to the habits of sea birds, Gatty’s methods of navigation are diverse and ingenious, each one a tiny reminder of how clearly the natural world speaks to us, if we’re willing to listen.

theparisreview:

After the first glass of vodka
you can accept just about anything
of life even your own mysteriousness
you think it is nice that a box
of matches is purple and brown and is called
La Petite and comes from Sweden
for they are words that you know and that
is all you know words not their feelings
or what they mean and you write because
you know them not because you understand them
because you don’t you are stupid and lazy
and will never be great but you do
what you know because what else is there?

—Frank O’Hara, “As Planned”
