In this often-surprising book of essays, Krista Eastman explores
the myths we make about who we are and where we're from. The
Painted Forest uncovers strange and little-known "home places" -not
only the picturesque hills and valleys of the author's childhood in
rural Wisconsin, but also tourist towns, the "under-imagined and
overly caricatured" Midwest, and a far-flung station in Antarctica
where the filmmaker Werner Herzog makes an unexpected appearance.
The Painted Forest upends easy narratives of place, embracing
tentativeness and erasing boundaries. But it is Eastman's
willingness to play-to follow her curiosity down every odd path, to
exude a skeptical wonder-that gives this book depth and
distinction. An unlikely array of people, places, and texts meet
for close conversation, and tension is diffused with art,
imagination, and a strong sense of there being some other way
forward. Eastman offers a smart and contemporary take on how we
wander and how we belong.
