Quirky little book, basically a few essays stitched together. Partly an examination of what pretentiousness is, partly a defense of it, partly looking at the good sides of at least some pretentiousness. Blessedly short but could have been even a bit shorter. Nice biographical postscript at the end.

Really lovely clarity of writing. Runs all kinds of references and concepts in to each other - per travelogue, part autobiography, part cultural dissection of the idea of Limbo and suspended spaces/time. Probably the only book I’ve read that references Thoreau, Winnicott and Douglas Adams with equal weight, which is glorious tbh.
