Emanuel’s Reviews > Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir > Status Update

I did not expect a book about walking in rural Japan to get me all welled up, but there's something about a man talking to his young self that gets me every time 🥹

"The walk is many things, but it's also a way to say to that kid: Look man, I appreciate you being there back in the day. What you did was tough, brave in a way, but we're good now, you can go. No headlocks, no guns, no violence here."
