A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary
From the bestselling writer of The paintings of commute comes a wittily fascinating exploration of the unusual "non-place" that he believes is the resourceful middle of our civilization.
Given unheard of entry to 1 of the world's busiest airports as a "writer-in-residence," Alain de Botton stumbled on it to be a exhibit for lots of of the key crosscurrents of the fashionable world--from our religion in know-how to our destruction of nature, from our international interconnectedness to our romanticizing of the unique. He met tourists from all over the place and spoke with everybody from luggage handlers to pilots to the airport chaplain. Weaving jointly those conversations and his personal observations--of every thing from the poetry of room carrier menus to the eerie silence in the midst of the runway at midnight--de Botton has produced a unprecedented meditation on a spot that almost all people by no means decelerate sufficient to work out sincerely. Lavishly illustrated in colour via well known photographer Richard Baker, every week on the Airport finds the airport in all its turbulence and soullessness and--yes--even beauty.
