Content

Tété-Michel Kpomassie was a teenager in Togo when he discovered a book about Greenland-and knew that he must go there. Working his way north over nearly a decade, Kpomassie finally arrived in the country of his dreams. This brilliantly observed and superbly entertaining record of his adventures among the Inuit is a testament both to the wonderful strangeness of the human species and to the surprising sympathies that bind us all.

Not a westerner writing about their experiences, but someone from West Africa in a totally alien environment. Loved it – Naomi G –
