Practical Experiments in Soaring

by Kate Harris

Author of LANDS OF LOST BORDERS and RBC Taylor Prize Winner Kate Harris's PRACTICAL EXPERIMENTS IN SOARING, about putting down roots while learning to fly, and about making a life off the grid in a remote community; a meditation on wanderlust gone local, pitched as in the tradition of Annie Dillard and Ellen Meloy, to Andrew Miller at Knopf.

About the author

I’m a writer with a knack for getting lost and a grudge against borders. Condé Nast Traveller named me one of the "world’s most adventurous women” for various ill-advised escapades on bikes and skis in countries with names often ending in “stan.” But my main adventure these days is staying put, in an off-grid log cabin in the Canadian subarctic, where I've been learning how to fly a small plane. My first book was Lands of Lost Borders. I’m hard at work on my second.
