In Transit: Stories About Departures, Arrivals and Life in Between - Tapa blanda

In Transit (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There is a particular kind of loneliness that belongs only to airports. Not the loneliness of an empty room or a quiet Sunday, but something more alive, more restless - the loneliness of a person surrounded by thousands of other people, each of them mid-sentence in the story of their own life. The pieces collected here are decidedly not light reading. One imagines the ordinary human noise aboard a flight that would not reach its destination. Another follows a man to a river, carrying his father's bones and ashes in a bag, trying to understand what it means to complete a life on someone else's behalf. Loss moves through these pages the way weather moves through a mountain range: it shapes everything, even when you cannot see it directly. These are stories about what we carry. And, sometimes, about the lightness of putting it down. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
