Skating to Antarctica by Jenny Diski, January 20, 2005, Virago Press Ltd edition, Paperback - New Ed edition

I borrowed Jenny Diski's Skating to Antarctica from the library, as I have wanted to read her work for ages. Several of my friends here on Goodreads rave about her. This is the singular tome which she has written that appealed to me the most, a travelogue about her journey to Antarctica. Skating To Antarctica goes to may places but the journey is far more about the journey than the destination. Mental health, depression, childhood, writing: these are Diski's subjects. But do not be fooled by the reviews below; Diski is a very conscientious writer that deconstructs autobiography as she writes it. Skating To Antarctica goes to may places but the journey is far more about the journey than the destination.
