January reads šŸ©µ Today weā€™re rereading Anna Kavanā€™s January reads šŸ©µ Today weā€™re rereading Anna Kavanā€™s 1967 hallucinatory journey into eternal winter. A nameless man of military persuasion is in pursuit of a silvery-haired girl; tracking her across an unearthly white snowscape, he is intent on possessing her in more ways than one. We will never learn his name, the girlā€™s name, or even their location. In the 1967 dystopian classic, Ice by Anna Kavan, weā€™re taken to a frigid, blanched world that is being engulfed by avalanches of snow and ice, the cause of which appears to be unknown. As society breaks down under the weight of misinformation, fuel and food shortages and the inexorable advance of icy doom, the girl keeps running and the man keeps pursuing.
