Detailed Product Description
UK, 2014, 1st edition. 207 pp. Paperback (only edition). New, but cover bent in shipping to us. Near Fine. A Snow Goose brings together four substantial stories from a master travel writer and teller of tales. In �A Snow Goose�, the tragic and romanticized mystery of what became of the Franklin Expedition to discover the North-West Passage is re-imagined, weaving together Inuit oral testimony and a landscape on the brink of abstraction to produce a story that is desolate and beautiful and in which artifacts and characters come to life, A Snow Goose is an eco-fable that resonates with our times. �After the Fall� plays with the notion of human credulity, symbolized her by the shadowy existence of the Yeti and building on HG Wells� climbing sequences in The Country of the Blind to construct it�s own Utopian fantasy. �Incident at Mew Stone Point� takes a climbing location on the limestone sea-cliffs of the Castlemartin peninsula in South Pembrokeshire and a premise from Ambrose Bierce�s 1890 tale, �An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge� and produces something altogether more celebratory; a rock-climbing romance. The final story �The Burning� picks up a contentious remark made by the poet R.S Thomas in support of the campaign of arson against Welsh holiday cottages from 1979- 1994. The story weaves together Welsh mythology and influences from Jung to contemporary Welsh social tradition to produce a scintillating comedy of identity. Jim Perrin is best known as a rock climber and acclaimed travel writer, including contributing to the Guardian Country Diary. Before turning to writing, he worked as a shepherd in Cwm Pennant and has made many contributions to newspapers and climbing magazines. As a climber, he has developed new routes, as well as making solo ascents of a number of established routes. He has twice won the Boardman Tasker Prize. A Snow Goose and other tales is his first full-length fiction work, bringing together four long stories.
