Paperback / softback
Description
Fresh, funny, and imbued with infectious energy, Northerny tells a much-needed and compelling story of growing up and living in the North.
Here are no tidy tales of aurora borealis and adventures in snow.
For Dawn Macdonald, the North is not an escape, a pathway to enlightenment, or a lifestyle choice.
It’s a messy, beautiful, and painful point of origin.
People from the North see the North differently and want to tell their own stories in their own way, including about their experiences growing up on the land, getting an education, and struggling to find jobs and opportunities.
Expertly balancing lyric reflection and ferocious realism, Macdonald busts up the cultural myths of self-interest and superiority that have long dominated conversations about both Northern spaces and working-class identities.
