Walser, the walker, fits in the long tradition of numerous walking writers and philosophers (Kant, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Sebald, Woolf, the Dutch philosopher Ton Lemaire, the list is endless). For the narrator, and for Walser, walking is not only stimulating aesthetical and philosophical reflection. However complex and strained the artist’s relation towards the wilful outside world, the outing is a vital need, social interaction is required for inspiration; walking is living, is being in the world, like writing is. Con una narrativa a modo de diario íntimo pero dirigida al “el lector” y donde seguramente ya habremos aceptado ser acompañantes y ser cómplices en su recorrido, caminaremos a su lado.Walser’s prose bristles with exaggerations and reprises; he accumulates pointless tautologies (pun intended) resulting in baroqueness and pomposity, which creates an alienating and deranging effect to the reader at first. Once one becomes used to his curvy, hyperbolic style, the whimsical, syntactically almost derailing sentences turn out strikingly appropriate and functional, as a cunning mimicry of moving, funny ineptitude. At times his prose reminded me of Hrabal’s, yet less gaudy. Raynor wrote an article about their walk for the Big Issue, and then wrote a book for herself, but mainly for Moth. It was a gift to him: a big fat love letter, and maybe a reminder for when his memory began to fade. Their daughter read it and said her mum should try to do something with it. They began by Googling literary agents and ended by meeting Penguin. (When Raynor was little, growing up on a Staffordshire farm, it had been her dream to be a writer and have penguins on the spines of her books.) Now, The Salt Path – Raynor’s beautiful, thoughtful, lyrical story of homelessness, human strength and endurance, has been shortlisted for the Costa book award. The Observer article may be based on an interview: "About his real name he preserves secrecy. He is about forty, is handsome in a lined and slightly weary-looking kind of way, and is extremely shy and modest. He is very happy in this country, and retains his Polish nationality only because of the hope which Poles often have that one day there will be a Poland to go home to."

In The Walk, Adam Hamilton focuses on five essential spiritual practices that are rooted in Jesus’ own walk with God and taught throughout the New Testament. Each of these practices is intended as part of our daily walk with Christ while also being an essential part of growing together in the church.

I’ve touched that writing so often that it’s barely legible. My mother’s entry was one of those events she spoke of, the kind that look like nothing except through time’s rearview mirror. My mother died from breast cancer forty-nine days later—on Valentine’s Day. Where do you see the story headed? What other trials do you expect Alan to encounter on his way to Key West? People in urban doorways, probably with addictions and/or mental health problems is the general perception of homelessness. But it is not the whole picture, she says. “People in rural environments keep themselves hidden,” she explains. They could be in work, “but because their jobs are temporary, or seasonal, or very low waged, or zero hours – a vast array of reasons – they aren’t acceptable to landlords. And where do you go?”More than once Alan stopped in a restaurant claiming the best milkshakes in the world. What does it take to make the perfect shake?
