Uncountry

By Yanara Friedland

Uncountry: a mythology is divided into four histories: "History of Ash," "History of Breath," "History of Hunger," and "History of Future." This naming is perhaps Friedland's first gesture to push us toward the very displacement that is at the center of her narrative. These are not histories of the four natural elements--fire, water, earth, and air--or of certain individuals or families, or certain time periods that we might have expected. The world of this book has its own natural elements, its own histories, geographies, peoples, dreams, and memories. It has its own tradition, its own language.
