First edition, signed by the author on the title page. Blurb: 'The Portuguese word saudade describes a feeling of longing for something that is now gone but that may yet return...Traveller Anik See traces her attempts to reclaim this loss in a series of informal essays that take us from the salt plains of Wood Buffalo National Park and the mountains of B.C. to the fishing port of Sri Lanka and the rough roads of Tbilisi.' Jim Harrison: 'Anik See's Saudade is often disturbingly brilliant. It reassures me that much of our experiencew of the world is still undescribed. Saudade is fresh and utterly original'. First edition, signed by the author on title page. PS.: The book won 3rd prize for design by the Alcuin Society! (which is not the photogr. cover falsely shown here by abebooks). We offer the book with the alternate cover which received the prize: black card wraps with topographical map printed in silver; silver title raised; French flaps.
Fine, new!
