![]() No One Thinks of Greenland John Griesemer LITERATURE 2002 PAPER 320 PAGES
It's true: who has ever heard of Blue West One, an army base built by the U.S. during WWII in South Greenland? Grisemeer, in this enthralling historical novel, uses the base and its hospital as the inspiration for an inventive tale of Lieutenant Woolwrap and secret goings-on during the Korean War. The Narsarsuaq base and airfield (called Qangattarsa in the novel) reverted to the Danes in 1959. Today it's the main airfield and a center of tourism in the region, noted for its hiking and Norse history. We've heard Jason Biggs is starring in a movie based on the novel, Guy X. Too bad it's filming in Iceland.
