Where can a walk take you? It goes without saying, walking can
connect us to our surroundings and free us from our worries. It can
raise our heart rate and relax our minds. It can lead us across
historic ground and inspire new thinking. In this beautiful
collection, twenty outstanding writers set out with old memories
and new adventures. 'I've always hated walking,' Harland Miller
offers as his precis, while Ingrid Persaud and Agnes Poirier
consider the rituals of pilgrimage and protest march. 'It isn't a
walking city,' Kamila Shamsie writes of Karachi, though she strides
across it regardless. On the shores of Foulness Island, Will Self
hopes to avoid landmines. In a forest north of Berlin, Jessica J.
Lee gets soaked, then lost. And pacing around Delhi, Keshava Guha
is interrupted by a husky. 'During the pandemic of 2020,' he
writes, looking back. 'He was the only thing I hugged.' These are
stories to dip into, from all walks of life. Together they capture
the magic and opportunity that can arrive when you put one foot in
front of the other. This collection features Tim Parks, Kamila
Shamsie, Will Self, Nicholas Shakespeare, Irenosen Okojie, Ingrid
Persaud, AL Kennedy, Cynan Jones, Sally Bayley, Joanna Kavenna,
Kathleen Rooney, Richard Ford, Harland Miller, Keshava Guha, Agnes
Poirier, Josephine Rowe, Sinead Gleeson, Pico Iyer, Patrick Gale
and Jessica J. Lee.
