The sixtieth parallel marks a kind of borderl&.
It wraps itself around the lower reaches of Finl&, Sweden & Norway; it crosses the tip of Greenland & of South-central Alaska; it cuts the great spaces of Russia & Canada in half.
The parallel also passes through Shetl&, at the very top of the British Isles.
In Sixty Degrees North, Malachy Tallack explores the places that share this latitude, beginning & ending in Shetl&, where he has spent most of his life.
The book focuses on the landscapes & natural environments of the parallel, & the way that people have interacted with those landscapes. It explores themes of wildness & community, of isolation & engagement, of exile & memory.
