À propos de cet audio
An Oprah Editor’s Pick, named as one of Globe & Mail’s Best 100 Books of 2014, and one of Quill & Quire’s Best Books of 2014
“Bewitching riddle of a novel.” (O, the Oprah Magazine)
“Baillie reminds us of the power of novels to renew the world.” (Booklist)
From the author of the Scotiabank Giller Prize-nominated novel The Incident Report comes a hypnotic novel following Heinrich Schlögel from Germany to Canada, where he sets out on a solo hike into the interior of Baffin Island. His journey quickly becomes surreal, full of strange encounters, inexplicable visions, and the shifting of time. After returning back to civilization, Heinrich discovers inexplicably that many years have passed. Narrated by an unnamed archivist who is attempting to piece together the truth of Heinrich’s life, The Search for Heinrich Schlögel dances between reality and fantasy. Set in today’s disappearing North and brimming with imagination and creativity, The Search for Heinrich Schlögel is a sophisticated story with magical underpinnings.

Desolate and mesmerizing
If you can suspend belief and just be open to how this tale unfolds, then you may like it. It does get a bit dreamy in spots. I would have probably given it a higher rating if I finished it, but about 1/2 way through there was enough grim stuff that I chose to read something lighter at this time.
