This book is a ripped, by no mean reliable map of some of the landscapes that make up a particular phase of my life. It's about places where things happened or didn't happen, places where I stayed and things that have stayed with me, places I'd wanted to see or places I passed through or just ended up. In a way they're all the same place—the same landscape—because the person these things happened to was the same person who in turn is the sum of all things that happened or didn't happen in these and other places. Everything in this book really happened, but some of the things that happened only happened in my head; by that same token, all the things that didn't happen didn't happen there too.

Birds in flight, claims the architect Vincenzo Volentieri, are not between places - they carry their places with them. We never wonder where they live: they are at home in the sky, in flight. Flight is their way of being in the world.
