Recenzii
A joy to read
A remarkable collection of essays [with] a stellar cast-list ... the essays bring something personal and unexpected out of each.
The best pieces in this book ... bring that intimate engagement with the past to vivid life. ... Pieces have you planning urgent pilgrimages
A collection of memories to dip into
These graceful, vicarious tours to museums famous and obscure are almost as good as the real thing.
An entertaining and idiosyncratic tour of obscure museums that have inspired and challenged famous authors throughout their lives ... The collection takes an intimate look both at the writers and the museums themselves, providing deep insights into how artists connect with the world around them.
[Reading this is] a coping strategy for the events of 2016 ... a beautifully produced book with illustrations by Steve Panton
