The Other Walk: Essays by Sven Birkerts
4.0
Birkerts reflects on memory through the act of remembering; it's a collection of essays on the borderline of memoir and phenomenology.
This is the sort of book you reread every ten years or so. I have a feeling my experience of the book will only deepen with time. Like most essay collections, there were a few misses, but Birkerts' ever-attentive prose was wonderful throughout. It's a treat to read a living author so skilled at crafting a sentence.
