Description:
Internationally acclaimed novelist Aritha van Herk takes geography and fiction and creates of them a geografictione -- fiction mapped on the lines of geography, a geography following the course of fiction. A new reading of Tolstoy's tragic heroine Anna Karenina and a sojourn at Ellesmere Island come together, and the North becomes an incomparably beautiful place, a living, unread, feminine landscape. Filled with the possibilities of worlds and their tellings, with always fresh and challenging perspectives, Places Far From Ellesmere extends the reputation of one of Canada's most highly regarded feminist writers.
