A journey along the seemingly endless Russian border - from North
Korea in the Far East through Russia's bordering states in Asia and
the Caucasus, crossing the Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea along
the way. "Erika Fatland [is] shaping up to be one of the Nordics'
most exciting new travel writers" National Geographic **SHORTLISTED
FOR THE STANFORDS DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020** "A
hauntingly lyrical meditation to the contingencies of history" Wall
Street Journal "[An] impressive mix of history, reportage and
travel memoir" Washington Post The Border is a book about Russia
and Russian history without its author ever entering Russia itself;
a book about being the neighbour of that mighty, expanding empire
throughout history. It is a chronicle of the colourful, exciting,
tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations,
their cultures, their people, their landscapes. Through her last
three documentary books - one about terrorism in Beslan, one about
the 2011 terror attacks in Norway and one about post-Soviet Central
Asia - social anthropologist Erika Fatland has established herself
as a sharp observer and an outstanding interviewer at the forefront
of Nordic non-fiction. Translated from the Norwegian by Kari
Dickson
