The author uses humor and a lexicon of made-up words to create a unique narrative that pokes fun at the outlandish claims made by both explorers. The book also provides a glimpse into the lives of the Inuit people, who were often treated as pawns by the explorers. Ultimately, the book explores the themes of truth, deception, and the lengths people will go to achieve fame.
