<br/><br/> Robinson brings us to his boyhood in Yorkshire, National Service in Malaya in the 1950s, and his years as a visual artist in Istanbul, Vienna and London. He revisits some of the scenes of his researches for the maps he made of Aran and Connemara, places that continue to throw up remarkable stores and puzzles. And he performs astonishing literary though-experiments, playing with the boundaries of the essay form, scientific enquiry and storytelling.
