The story of John Franklins doomed 1845 attempt to discover a Northwest Passage, from the National Book Awardwinning author of Europe CentralVaulting through time to another flashpoint in the long struggle between Indians and Europeans, William T. Vollmanns visionary fictional history now focuses on the white explorers of the mid1800s, desperately dreaming of forging a Northwest Passage. As Sir John Franklin embarks on his fourth Arctic voyage, he defies the warnings of the native people, and his journey ends in ice and death. But his spirit lingers in the Canadian north, where 150 years later, in 1990, Inuit elders dream of longgone sealhunting days and teenagers sniff gasoline. And when a white man seduces and leaves pregnant a young Indian woman, he becomes Franklin reincarnated, bound for the same fate. Vollmanns vivid characters and landscapes weave together the stories of the past and present to live out Americas ongoing tragedy of greed, ignorance, and violence.
