Some light relief for lockdown sufferers. A news item from 2012 has
started to be circulated widely on the internet. It involves a tourist
on a bus trip with a group, who was reported missing at Iceland’s Eldgjá
canyon. The bus driver reported her missing to police after she failed
to return from her walk, and a search party spent a weekend trying to
locate her. But the woman was not missing, and was indeed a member of
the search party. She was reported missing because she had changed her
clothes before returning to the tour bus, and she had no idea that she
was actually searching for herself.
Wouldn’t Kafka have loved this story? And perhaps even Woolf? (Insert
portentous comment along the lines of "Are we not all searching for
ourselves without realizing that we are not lost?")
