Paperback. Condition: New. "An elaborate tale of family and the paths people take to understanding." --Seattle Times "[This] mix of well-researched history and contemporary fiction makes for a fine, sad read." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Hauntingly honest and emotionally resonant." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Gregory Spatz's prose is as clean and sparkling as a new fall of snow." --JANET FITCH, author of White Oleander and Paint it Black "At its heart Inukshuk is about family. But Spatz has transfigured this beautifully told, wise story with history and myth, poetry and magic into something rarer, stranger and altogether amazing. A book that points unerringly true north." --KAREN JOY FOWLER, author of The Jane Austen Book Club and Wit's End John Franklin has moved his fifteen-year-old son to the remote northern Canadian town of Houndstitch to make a new life together after his wife, Thomas' mother, left them. Mourning her disappearance, John, a high school English teacher, writes poetry and escapes into an affair, while Thomas withdraws into a fantasy recreation of the infamous Victorian-era arctic expedition led by British explorer Sir John Franklin.With teenage bravado, Thomas gives himself scurvy so that he can sympathize with the characters in the film of his mind--and is almost lost himself. While told over the course of only a few days, this gripping tale slips through time, powerfully evoking a modern family in distress and the legendary "Franklin's Lost Expedition" crew's descent into despair, madness, and cannibalism aboard the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror on the Arctic tundra.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Author Gregory Spatz is distantly related to Sir John Franklin, who was his great-grandmother's uncle. He was also inspired by the traditional 1800s ballad Lady Franklin s Dream which Spatz recorded as a duet with his wife on his solo CD and again on the first Mighty Squirrel CD.The title Inukshuk literally means in the likeness of man. Practically it refers to a stacked arrangement of stone slabs with a human shape pointing towards something of import for a passing traveler. Spatz sees a similar relationship between himself and his novel s readers. Little is known about the true story of Franklin s Arctic journey, but it is likely that his crew survived 5-6 years in the Arctic, suffering from extreme scurvy and ultimately turning to cannibalism. The search for his ships and the truth behind their voyage continues to make news.At once a coming-of-age and historical adventure tale, Inukshuk is a tribute to the redemptive power of love and art. It also contains a powerful environmental message about climate change and oil dependence. As the author notes, there was once too much ice to navigate the Northwest Passage and now there s too little ice for native communities to function.…
