Escaping is not the same as running from something. It's a premeditated act, something that needs knowledge and will. And historically there have been a lot of places to escape: from the inside, to the void, to mountains, to the desert, to one own bedroom, to a tiny room inside your heart.

This book is a wonder to behold. With a lot of academic knowledge and warmth, Pau leads the way to the most humane sensitivities, hopes and wishes. It shows 30+ ways of getting lost to finally find the self, from the spiritual, the literary, to the physical.

A must read for these times.
