Porter Fox is the editor of Nowhere and the author of Deep. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Believer, Outside, National Geographic Adventure, and The Best American Travel Writing. Raised in Maine, he lives in New York.
In Northland, Porter Fox illuminates every imaginable facet of the northern border of the USA: historical, natural, economic, environmental, geopolitical, and, underpinning all these and above everything else, the human. This is a rip-roaring adventure story and all the more gripping for it. Set-piece after thrilling set-piece, Northland moves us across ecosystems, climates, and communities; reading it is to be both transported and transformed. -- Neel Mukherjee, author of A State of Freedom
