"The (lengthy) opening essay is stunning, and the rest of the book is mostly just OK. It took me way longer than it should have to realize that the book is predominantly structured as a series of two-page essays, with Steadman's drawings punctuating them, to mirror the left-right rhythm of walking and looking around. It lent the book a nice momentum, tricking you into going much further in one stretch than perhaps you would have otherwise."
"I loved much of this book. I stumbled across the book because of the title (I've written on topics that connect with psychogeography as it was originally defined by Guy DeBord) and then once I began to read remembered that I'd also read a NYT story some time ago about Self's walk from his home in London to New York via Heathrow and JFK. Other than the long description of this walk at the beginning of the book, the rest of it is made up of reprinted Psychogeography columns from the Independent which are always good, sometimes great, occasionally nostril-snortingly funny and sometimes so desperately sad. I think the story that begins with a description of the death of Chinese cockle diggers in Morecambe Bay was the best of the lot (you can also find it online as Psychogeography #24). Here, among other things, Self argues that knowing where we are is a duty of world citizenship and that not having it is a sign that we're out of touch with what is actually going on in the world: "Disorientation is a luxury that only we in the affluent West can truly afford." I'd wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the psychology and politics of place. By the way, the illustrations are also tremendous. I'm thinking of buying a second copy so I can rip some of them out and put framed copies on my office walls."
