    The Dead Ladies Project: Exiles, Expats, and Ex-Countries

    Description

    Jessa Crispin s first book--a work of literary nonfiction about drifters. Crispin s own peregrinations and rootlessness are legendary to the blogger s many fans and readers. As Crispin sees it, the problem with most books about drifters is that they do not understand, or really get at, the longing of someone without a permanent address. Crispin investigates the energy created between person and place, using her own search for a new home and a string of fascinating personalities that have always captured her fancy. Together with her dead ladies Crispin visits the places that were important to them (Paris, Berlin, Trieste, London, Moscow, Sarajevo), and that become important to her, too. These chapters, each devoted to a single person, are filled with ghosts and literature and history, but they are equally alive with the sights and smells and sounds of today."
