About Antarctic Navigation: A Novel

At long last – almost twenty-five years after its original publication – ANTARCTIC NAVIGATION is available in electronic form. It is a novel so original, so prescient, so visionary – so overwhelming in its cumulative emotional and intellectual impact – that it will change the way you look at human life forever.This truly epic novel – which both uses and re-imagines a form long dominated by men – was greeted when it was first published in 1995 by Knopf with a certain incredulity that a woman writer had so fearlessly grabbed the flag and run with it. In it, Elizabeth Arthur manages to do something unique in American literature; she creates a female protagonist who is utterly the equal of any male hero ever created, but who remains distinctly and comprehensively female.An exhilarating blend of history, science, metaphysics and just plain flat-out brilliant storytelling – thrilling as both an actual and an intellectual adventure – ANTARCTIC NAVIGATION is a contemporary epic inspired in part by Moby-Dick and narrated by an American woman who travels to the Antarctic to work for the National Science Foundation at McMurdo Station, then returns as the head of an expedition attempting to recreate Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1912. Vast, shimmering like a fever dream, and evoking a natural world of supernatural beauty and complexity, ANTARCTIC NAVIGATION integrates entire realms of human knowledge and inquiry – history, literature and philosophy, ecology, evolutionary biology and physics – seamlessly into the plot of its story, and Morgan’s narrative contains a precise and poetic evocation of panpsychism, which posits that every element of the universe, and the universe itself, are conscious. An artist who thinks, in this novel, like a scientist, Elizabeth Arthur has created in Morgan Lamont a scientist who thinks like an artist, and in so doing has posed a moral and ethical question to all of us – suggesting that human beings have the power to consciously and intelligently change the course of human evolution by making decisions based not on our genetic imperatives but on our empathy and intelligence.A novel ahead of its time, but destined for the ages, this is a once-in-a-lifetime reading experience.
