Ted reviewed Notes from the century before by Edward Hoagland (The Modern library exploration series)
Review of 'Notes from the century before' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I've never read a book of observation (that's literal, by which I mean looking; at the mountains, at people, etc.) in which so much is obstructed from view. Hoagland plays it close to the parka in this book, infuriatingly and without recovery. The writing is superb, however.
