Not like any other book I’ve ever read. More like, a breathing bibliography. Writer Robert MacFarlane has praised the experience of reading it as “a kaleidoscope…made from scraps…a gigantic, futile, magical attempt at historical comprehension” that makes you feel “bodiless and boneless” able to travel through time. It is also unfinished, the last record of a fine mind, murdered by fascists.
