She lives with her husband, playwright Bob Duxbury, in the North Bay Area of California. Klappentext "Try to Get Lost is a bold, engaging disquisition on the perils and promises of travel: both cranky and wise, worldly and cultivated, humorous and rueful, its every sentence sparkles. All in all, it is thoroughly entertaining, a sophisticated pleasure."--Phillip Lopate, author of A Mother's Tale Zusammenfassung Through the author's travels, Try to Get Lost explores the quest for place that compels and defines us: the things we carry, how politics infuse geography, media's depictions of an idea of home, the reverberations of the word “hotel”, and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and others on familiar and foreign ground.
