Internationally acclaimed novelist Aritha van Herk takes geography and fiction and creates
of them a geografictioneóa 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.
