Biografisk notat
Geoff Nicholson was the author of over twenty books, which have been widely translated with one made into a Hollywood film. These include the acclaimed novels Bleeding London (shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize), Gravity’s Volkswagen and The City Under the Skin, as well as the classics of psychogeographical non-fiction, The Lost Art of Walking and Walking in Ruins. He wrote for publications including the Guardian, Telegraph and New York Times, and is a contributing editor to the Los Angeles Review of Books.'This pithy, erudite yet resolutely unpretentious book is a celebration of the invigorating, inspiring pleasures of strolling just for the sake of it.'

‘Nicholson is a marvelously direct writer of indirect subjects who doesn’t have a lot of truck with pretense or a sense of misgiving about his subjects. He treads where he likes and doesn’t seem to care about commercialism when describing his enthusiasms. … Nicholson’s writing career has been varied, admirable and courageous. He stops to notice uncommercial and even bizarre subjects, shunning well-traveled roads. He goes where he likes. He gets out often. Nobody can imitate him.’ Tom Zoellener, LA Review of Books
