Beschreibung
'Refreshing and funny and unlike anything else. I feel as if I've been waiting for this book for a long time'
Daisy Johnson, Booker Prize shortlisted author of Everything Under
Nineteen-year-old Erin has never been this far from home. From the Midlands to Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, on across the entire breadth of the American continent ... as Erin's one-woman odyssey leads her towards a lonely cabin in the wilds of Alaska, she charts the changing landscapes of her own mind - and reimagines not just a woman's place in society, but humanity's place on planet Earth.
Filled with a sense of hope and wonder, The Word for Woman is Wilderness is a funny, frank and tender account of a young woman in uncharted territory.
'A thinking woman's adventure story ... beautiful, thoughtful, and often humorous' Lucy Scholes, The National
Rezensionen
A thinking woman's adventure story ... [Andrews'
Refreshing and funny and unlike anything else. I feel as if I'
A gripping feminist reimagining of <i>Into the Wild</i>.
Sometimes, the greatest stories are the ones that generate inspiration beyond our wildest imagination ... this is an inspiring account of the unprecedented change to the social norms of young women in uncharted territory
Clever, funny and thoughtful
Uplifting, with a thirsty curiosity, the writing is playful and exuberant. Riffing on feminist ideas but unlimited in scope, Andrews focuses our attention on our beautiful, doomed planet, and the astonishing things we have yet to discover.
Erin is a captivating heroine - funny, feminist and intensely curious, she riffs on Bear Grylls, the beauty of the natural world and the contraceptive pill as she makes her way to a tiny cabin in desolate Denali ... brilliant.
A wide wild world comes surging out of this book, flooding the space you sit in with an energy and a vastness of scope that <b>dazzles and daunts and exhilarates</b>. It is a quiet, sardonic, funny, fluid text, <b>a visionary book</b>, that shows us the future is in fact already here.
This book is a feminist, millennial manifesto about reclaiming the wilderness. Andrews' debut novel follows a 19-year-old girl on a feminist expedition in the footsteps of Chris McCandless, and is told in such a self-conscious, clever and amusing way that I haven'
<i>The Word for Woman Is Wilderness</i> is <b>unlike any published work I have read</b> ... rises to its own challenges in engaging intellectually as well as wholeheartedly with its questions about gender, genre and the concept of wilderness
A good book is one that makes you think about your own life. A great book is one that challenges your thinking. But it is a truly remarkable book that changes how you think, and <i>The Word for Woman is Wilderness</i> had that effect on me. I can'
A varied, funny, and important novel for our times
A hopeful and challenging account of a young woman in uncharted territory ... The many-coloured themes and ideas in the book are themselves painted on complex and overlapping canvases - of feminism, in an age of wilderness, but a wilderness that has been warped as it becomes embedded in the Anthropocene ... <i> </i> <i>The Word for Woman is Wilderness</i> is filled with humour and seriousness; interweaving ideas that in many other books would have a hard time sitting together, and then making that non-dualism part of the purpose of the book. It asks us to rewild not just our landscapes, but our words and ways of thinking about nature and so many other things.
