The Independent Best Book for Walkers 2022 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, Agnès Poirier, Josephine Rowe, Sinead Gleeson, Pico Iyer,
Patrick Gale and Jessica J. Lee.
