Summary:
"Paul Prescot's desire to catalogue and comprehend the Aboriginal rock paintings of the Canadian Shield is told through the eyes of the woman he loves, and who, for her own reasons, accompanies him on his travels to the deep north. Her journeys with her husband, and then alone, returning to the north shore of Lake Superior to commend his ashes to the water, draw her deeper into a history that, while foreign to them both, seems to offer a meaningful alternative to a world that has gone wrong. Peter Unwin turns his unique talents to a story that lies at the heart of this country and to the crucial issue of our times. Written in Stone maps the exhilarating and ultimately tragic consequences of one man's commitment to the land of his birth, a land whose deep and unwritten past is outside the reach of his understanding. Written in Stone goes beyond the surface acknowledgments of settler impacts, and exists on the border of two solitudes, where the known and unknown cannot be separated, where mythology and reality are one, and where an old and inaccessible knowledge holds the means to a possible reconciliation. Peter Unwin is the author of eight previous books, including his novel Searching for Petronius Totem, as well as many short stories, essays and poems. His shorty story collection Life Without Death was shortlisted for the 2014 Trillium Book Award, and his poetry collection When We Were Old was a Relit Award finalist. He is currently completing a PhD in the Humanities at York University."--Publisher.
