The Earth writes its own story in the landscape. A novelist sets out on a journey to piece it together
Helen Gordon's books include a novel, Landfall (Penguin, 2011), and Being A Writer, a compendium written with Travis Elborough (Francis Lincoln, 2017). She is married to an earth scientist and lives mostly in the Holocene.
'The reward of Helen Gordon's profoundly considered and
far-reaching book is that it opens up the dizzying view of
geological time ... Notes from Deep Time reaches into a place that,
in a post-religious era, offers a glimpse of something close to
eternity' - Philip Marsden
'A marvel-rich masterclass of narrative non-fiction ... To escape
from the present into deep time with such a companionable guide is
clarifying, almost therapeutic, and at times gratifyingly dizzying'
- Max Porter, author
'If there were ever a good time to think about deep time, it's now
... A whirlwind tour of our planet's deep past and far future ...
succeeds in grounding our existence firmly in the context of
geological time' - Alexandra Witze
'Wonderfully expansive' - Philip Hoare, author
'A book as multi-layered as the deep-time planet itself' - Sara
Wheeler, author
