A walk with Per Hogselius, skirting shipwrecks and bodies, relics of war and vanished lives, is a deep-dive into landscape and culture. It leaves us fragile and shows us wonders. '"In 15 fascinating, expansive essays that encompass wars, religions, crime novels, murders, poets, and much more, he proves his point that "the seashore is a borderland," a place that once "evoked fear and repulsion." The collection is a treasure of assemblage. Hogseliusdeftly unites travelogue, memoir, and contemporary culture with historicalfacts and stories to tremendous effect. Hogselius's curious and nimble mind leads readers downa captivating path."' - SHELF AWARENESS, starred reviewHolidaymakers go to the beach to play.
