The third type consists of those who travel because they are forced to do so by their parents in order to obtain a better education and those who travel with the endorsement of the clergy. In the preface, Yorick describes the different types of travelers: the first two are those who travel for petty reasons - sickness or mental health. All this time, the monk has remained outside, on the premises of the inn. He climbs inside a chaise sitting in the courtyard to start writing his preface. Yorick decides that he will buy a chaise to make his journey faster, but when he gets outside, he does not see Monsieur Dessein, the master of the hotel. Yorick soon feels ashamed of his words and realizes that he had no right to criticize the monk. Instead, Yorick starts to criticize the monk by saying that hardship exists all over the world: this reality does not give someone the right to eat the bread earned by others. Yorick decides that he will not give the monk any money. While he is eating, he is approached by a poor monk, who is asking for donations. Yorick, a British clergyman, decides to go to France and begins his journey with a jaunt from Dover to Calais, where he has supper after this short trip. Is so sad, read a fiction book that is so realistic! The feeling that I CAN do more to help this world became a better place. So you are there and start to read this book, and all the walls that enclose you, the ones you created, fall down so hard that you stay chocked. Is not perfect, but you are happy, in a good house, with a loving one near you (family or a partner) trying to stay exactly as you are now… happy and enclosed in your perfect or almost perfect little world. Are you confused? Well, please think about something: you have your good live. No, I’m not saying that I hate this book, but the feeling I get reading it.

Edie’s moorings have come loose in more existential ways - both her parents have died - the details of which she relays in hints and asides throughout the book. She’s hungry, but she doesn’t know how to satisfy herself. Her many liaisons at work and around town feel more like something to pass the time than desire. She works an undemanding job in publishing, lives in a crappy apartment with a barely present roommate, and drifts through life. The heart of Luster is Edie, a 23-year-old Black woman living in New York who longs to be an artist. The writer Raven Leilani evokes that intergenerational loneliness again and again in her debut novel, Luster. “This is when I realized my loneliness had deeper roots than I had initially suspected, and that, in addition to personal disappointments, it came from having a profound sense of disconnection from what I thought America was, and who, in that context, I knew myself to be.” A historical loneliness, a sense of not being a fully vested participant in the American ideal has come raging to the surface in these months of quarantine and uprising. Walters was feeling lonely before her sojourn, but the scale of the devastation leaves her overwhelmed and numbed at the loss. Walters writes of traveling to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to help her Aunt Lou salvage what she can from her wrecked home. IN HER ESSAY “Lonely in America,” Wendy S. |
