Outlandish by Nick Hunt
Publication Date - October 26, 2021
3.5 stars
The author visits areas within easy distance of his home that are other worldly and don't seem to belong to the locale. An arctic tundra in Scotland, a desert in Spain and more are the places he walks through. This is nature writing at it's best, however, you do need to be in the mood for it and unfortunately I wasn't at the time. I did enjoy his assertion that climate change makes it less desirable to take planes to visit far away areas when you can enjoy the extreme closer to home. The writing is beautiful if a bit too detailed in parts. If you are in the mood for a slow, picturesque examination of geography then this is a great book to dive into. I received a digital ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
