Résumé
Through the author&’s travels in Europe and the United States, Try to Get Lost explores the quest for place that compels and defines us: the things we carry, how politics infuse geography, media&’s depictions of an idea of home, the… ancient and modern reverberations of the word &“hotel,&” and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and others on familiar and foreign ground. Frank posits that in fact time itself may be our ultimate, inhabited place—the &“vastest real estate we know,&” with a &“stunningly short&” lease.
