A Line in the World
Dorthe Nors’s first nonfiction book chronicles a year she spent traveling along the North Sea coast. Through a deep, personal engagement with this singular landscape, A Line in the World accesses the universal. Its ultimate subjects are civilization, belonging, and change: changes within one person’s life, changes occurring in various communities today, and change as the only constant of life on Earth.
