Review:
'it's a joy to read, its prose as clear as the light on the Greenland ice-cap. In the past year, I've read three or four books combining travelogue and memoir...this was the best' - Telegraph; 'Malachy is a fine, sensitive writer with an eye for detail and a talent for descriptive prose' - Gavin Bell, Herald; 'Tallack does travelogue well, acutely balancing fact and fancy, and he has a nicely febrile line in his own vulnerability' - Will Self, Guardian

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 60 Degrees North is a story that we tell, both to ourselves and to others. It is a story about where - and perhaps also who - we are.'The sixtieth parallel marks a kind of borderland. It wraps itself around the lower reaches of Finland, Sweden and Norway; it crosses the tip of Greenland and of South-central Alaska; it cuts the great spaces of Russia and Canada in half. The parallel also passes through Shetland, at the very top of the British Isles. In 60 Degrees North, Malachy Tallack explores the places that share this latitude, beginning and ending in Shetland, where he has spent most of his life. The book focuses on the landscapes and natural environments of the parallel, and the way that people have interacted with those landscapes. It explores themes of wildness and community, of isolation and engagement, of exile and memory. In Sixty Degrees North, the author travels along the 60th parallel, which passes through Shetland, where he was raised, and through Finland, Sweden. Norway, Greenland, Canada, Russia and Alaska, observing each land, and reflecting on his own life and recent loss.
