An African in Greenland

by Tete-Michel Kpomassie  •  James Kirkup (Translator)

A memorable account of the odyssey of the West African author from Togo to Paris, Denmark and, ultimately, Greenland. Inspired by a children's book about Greenlanders, Kpomassie's grail is to visit the Arctic. A memoir, ethnography, travelogue and fairy tale, the charming and talented author's dreams all come true. Three-quarters of the book is devoted to his adventures in Greenland. Originally published in 1981.  (ARC110, $14.95)
