And the other footnote about that that was interesting to me is, if you read Frankenstein, the original version, it takes place in the Arctic, it takes place up on the sea ice with the narrator sort of icebound, writing letters back to his sister, when he encounters first Doctor Frankenstein and then the Frankenstein monster. Most people forget about that. I replica Japanese Rolex watches forgot about it, actually, until I reread it for research on the book. You talk about the Little Ice Age in the book. Do you think whats happening now is the opposite of the Little Ice Age?
How did you become a travel writer?I don’t look at travel writing asbeing much different from any other kind of writing. I’ve done a little bit ofeverything, some political stories and more character-driven stuff. I tend toapproach travel writing pretty much the same way that I do any other kind ofstory. I really try to find a narrative instead of just replica Rolex Ladies watches describing a bunch ofhollowed trees or plates of pasta.There are great travel pieces bywriters whom I admire a lot. Joan Didion wrote brilliantly about Newport, RhodeIsland. That’s not exactly a travel piece but it’s a piece with a sense ofplace. John McPhee.
Kind of the same thing, except with heat?Well, I guess what youre getting at is are we just in a warm cycle and are we just gonna get cold again? I dont know. What I do know is this: If you take a closed system like the Earths atmosphere and you add a bunch of CO2 and methane to that closed system and everything else remains the same, it will get replica Rolex Sports Models watches warmer. Thats just very basic, physics. Its been known since 1850, and [Joseph] Fourier was the first person who talked about that. Ian Frazier is a writer I admire who’s done some stuff thatmaybe counts as travel writing. David Foster Wallace did brilliant travelessays.
