Fictional flaneuse: Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk
There seem to be an increasing number of fictional women flaneurs who might, or might not be of interest to flaneurs.
The most recent I've encountered was in the novel Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk, by Kathleen Rooney, 2017, in which the elderly* New Yorker Ms Boxfish is a fictionalised version of real life 1930s advertising woman Margaret Fishback. Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk on goodreads (currently 3.86/5) and also my review with quotes (3/5).
Any other urban walking books of note?
* "elderly" = a compliment in cultures which respect older people.
