Far Afield by Susanna Kaysen
A compulsively readable novel of enormous charm swimming in the cuisine and culture of the Faroe Islands from the author of Girl, Interrupted.Jonathan Brand, a graduate student in anthropology, has decided to do his fieldwork in the remote Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic. But, despite his Harvard training, he can barely understand, let alone "study," the culture he encounters. From his struggles with the local cuisine to his affair with the Danish woman the locals want him to marry, Jonathan is both repelled by and drawn into the Faroese way of life. Wry and insightful, Far Afield reveals Susanna Kaysen's gifts of imagination, satire, and compassion.
Susanna Kaysen is the author of Asa, As I Knew Him, and Far Afield, as well as Girl, Interrupted and The Camera My Mother Gave Me, autobiographies. She resides in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
