We watch as the cartographer, used to the scientific methods of assuming control over a place by mapping it, is gradually compelled to recognize--even to envy--a wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastaman's eternal city of Zion. As the book unfolds the cartographer learns that, on this island of roads that \"constrict like throats,\" every place-name comes freighted with history, and not every place that can be named can be found.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kei Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.20w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847772671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan Thomas Prize - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Costa Book Awards - Nominee","brand":"Carcanet Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713297223817,"sku":"9781847772671","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_93b48a31-b81b-47c8-9a8a-03620a6061f6.jpg?v=1719608315","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-cartographer-tries-to-map-a-way-to-zion-9781847772671","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
