About?

Step into the bizarre world of Arqtiq, a singular work described by author Liza Daly as a strange masterpiece of outsider art. This captivating novella by Anna Adolph blends feminist utopian fiction with elements of sci-fi adventure and philosophical inquiry. Follow Anna, an intrepid aviator and her eclectic band of family and friends, as they embark on a daring expedition to the North Pole aboard a retro-futuristic airship of her own design.

Written in a style that oscillates between modernist abstraction and enthusiastic amateurism, Arqtiq is a maddening yet fascinating tale that captivates with its unrestrained imagination. It stands out as one of the most exuberantly surreal and dreamlike works of utopian fiction from its time. - Summary by ChuckW
