"Martha Baillie's hypnotic novel follows Heinrich Schlögel from Germany to Canada, where he sets out on a two-week hike into the isolated interior of Baffin Island. His journey quickly becomes surreal; he experiences strange encounters and inexplicable visions as shards of Arctic history emerge from the shifting landscape. When he returns from his hike, he discovers that, though he has not aged, thirty years have passed. Narrated by an unnamed archivist who is attempting to piece together the truth of Heinrich's life, THE SEARCH FOR HEINRICH SCHLOGEL dances between reality and dream, asking us to consider not only our role in imagining the future into existence but also the consequences of our past choices. [] Brimming with the creativity behind David Mitchell's masterpiece Cloud Atlas in a far north setting, [Baillie's acclaimed novel] is a sophisticated story with magical underpinnings." [publisher copy] "Martha Baillie's extraordinary THE SEARCH FOR HEINRICH SCHLlöGEL is not quite like any other book I've read. It invites us on a hallucinatory journey to the Arctic and through time. It asks us to live with mystery and wonder, which is what a work of art does. If it reminds me of anything, it is the fabulous, shape-shifting novels of the Icelandic writer Sjón."--Catherine Bush. "Baillie delivers a work of magical realism that captures the experience of postcolonial guilt--and gives voice to a silenced past."--Starred, Publishers Weekly. Pristine & handy paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, French flaps, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
