Description: Erika Fatland [is] shaping up to be one of the Nordics' most exciting new travel writers National Geographic**SHORTLISTED FOR THE STANFORDS DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020**A hauntingly lyrical meditation to the contingencies of history Wall Street Journal[ An] impressive mix of history, reportage and travel memoir Washington Post The Border is a book about Russia and Russian history without its author ever entering Russia itself; a book about being the neighbour of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history. It is a chronicle of the colourful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations, their cultures, their people, their landscapes. Through her last three documentary books - one about terrorism in Beslan, one about the 2011 terror attacks in Norway and one about post-Soviet Central Asia - social anthropologist Erika Fatland has established herself as a sharp observer and an outstanding interviewer at the forefront of Nordic non-fiction.

Review: This book could have been a dry description of the borders between Russia and it's neighbours. Instead, the author's humanity and personal touch allows history to be woven in with some kind of sense of how people's lives are affected by proximity to Putin and Russia.

Review: Erica's books have amazing scope and detail, but like Sovietistan, I was bored by the end.
