Title : The Blue Road - Kenneth White - book

Summary :

In The Blue Road, Kenneth White sets out in search of Labrador, a long-fantasized Canadian territory. We follow him on his journey from Montreal. Along the way, he meets Native Americans, miners, hunters, descendants of Scots, young Pocahontas, and old shamans. He visits mines and reservations, scours bars, scans landscapes, and listens to the world. Full of humor and poetry, this travelogue is also a text of initiation. The backpacker who speaks to us is a nomadic intellectual and vice versa: the traveler's small daily worries, colorful dialogues with Eskimo Joe and other colorful characters, alternate philosophical reverie and references to a constellation of writers and free thinkers. Kenneth White, born in Scotland, has lived in France since 1967. He was awarded the Prix Médicis étranger in 1983 and the Grand Prix du rayonnement français from the Académie française in 1985. He is at the origin of the concept of intellectual nomadism and founded the International Institute of Geopoetics in 1989. He is already the author of Dérives, Les Cygnes sauvages, Les Vents de Vancouver, La Mer des lumières, Au large de l'histoire and La Figure du dehors (The Figure Outside) published by Le mot et le reste (The Word and the Rest).
