William Fiennes’ The Snow Geese is the profoundly moving account of both a physical & spiritual migration following snow geese in their spring journey from the South to the Arctic
- a joy returning of one man’s rediscovering the world. Snow geese spend their summers in the Canadian Arctic, on the tundra. Each autumn they migrate south, to Delaware, California & the Gulf of Mexico, & in the spring they fly north again. One year, William Fiennes decided to go with them & to write about his travels. The result is an extraordinary journey, a mesmerizing story about the joys of being alive, of being on the move &
- above all
- of returning home.A blend of autobiography & reportage, Fiennes’ subject was in fact also homecoming: the birds on their long journeys home, the grace of homecomings, the strange gravity that home exerts. The arc of Fiennes` extraordinary physical adventure formed the backbone for meditations on philosophy, natural science & personal memoir. The book thrums with ideas, with stories & anecdotes, with humankind as well as wild fowl, with the funny & observant insights of an assured & highly entertaining writer.
