Abi Andrews je autorka, ktorej diela sa ponárajú do zložitých vzťahov medzi ľuďmi a divočinou. Jej próza je známa svojou surovou, nefiltrovanou kvalitou a ochotou skúmať nepokojné okraje ľudskej existencie. Andrews sa pohybuje medzi poetickým jazykom a drsnou realitou, čím vytvára texty, ktoré sú súčasne znepokojivé aj hlboko dojemné. Jej písanie je skúmaním toho, čo znamená byť nažive v dnešnom svete.
The journey of Acacia, a Squirrel Glider, unfolds as she transitions from a rescued joey to a wild creature exploring her natural habitat. Upon her release, she ventures into a nearby forest, where she encounters various native plants and animals, discovering the crucial role the forest plays in their lives. Through her experiences, the story highlights themes of wildlife conservation and the interconnectedness of ecosystems.
The narrative follows 19-year-old Erin as she embarks on a transformative journey through Iceland, Greenland, and Canada to Alaska. Her mission is to document the disparities in individualism and freedom between men and women, particularly through the lens of survivalism and the "Mountain Man" ethos. To conclude her expedition, Erin intends to live in an Alaskan cabin, drawing inspiration from Thoreau, while exploring these themes from a feminist perspective.
