Wide White Page, The: Writers Imagine Antarctica Manhire, Bill An Antarctic anthology like no other, this book is about the imaginative uses writers have made of Antarctica. It spans eight centuries of writing — from Dante’s famous account of Ulysses’ last southbound ocean journey, culminating in mysterious peak, violent storm, and savage whirlpool; to Michael Chabon’s WWII US army base on the ice, from his award-winning Kavalier and Clay — and many more of the imagination. Genres range from Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner, via H.P Lovecraft’s Gothic fantasy, to Monty Python’s Scott of the Sahara. A treasure trove for any devotee of either the Antarctic or the imagination. The cover is a work of art designed by Sarah Maxey. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
