Description
"When Jessa Crispin was thirty, she burned her settled Chicago life to the ground and took off for Berlin with a pair of suitcases and no plan beyond leaving. Half a decade later, she's still on the road, in search not so much of a home as of understanding, a way of being in the world that demands neither constant struggle nor complete surrender, "--Amazon.com.
Description
At thirty, Crispin burned her settled Chicago life to the ground and took off for Berlin with a pair of suitcases and no plan beyond leaving. Half a decade later, still on the road, she's in search not so much of a home as of understanding. Fascinated by exile, Crispin traveled an itinerary of key locations that have drawn writers who needed to break free and start fresh. She explores why the prospect of escape and reinvention was an attractive proposition to them.
