Thank you for keeping me company in the year that lapsed in-between!

I read At Day's Close this winter, as well, and it was electrifying. I came at it from more of a historian's point of view (fascinated by the language developed to refer to different stages of night), but I love your way of looking at night as a means of self-emancipation. I'm going to return to the book with that additional lens.

I don’t think I’d ever really had the urge to read about Arctic explorers (had all the reservations you mention!) but I read the Ministry of Time *and* the Hudson froze over for the first time in many years, so now I’m a little obsessed with ice and ready for more—thank you!

Now is the time! I’ll devote some future newsletter to a closer look at African in Greenland which is such a treat. 🧊

Oh! And speaking of the fox book… have you read Dubravka Ugresic’s book, Fox? Like most of her books it’s hard to categorize but excellent.

I've been eyeing it for years and never actually picked it up. Now I'll really have to make an effort to!
