Black Whiteness: Admiral Byrd Alone in the Antarctic

36 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81299-X
(2) 4-6 With a spareness and precision that echo Byrd's unforgiving environment, Burleigh exposes the coldness and aloneness that companioned Admiral Byrd's six solitary months in 1934. Excerpts from Byrd's 'Alone' punctuate Burleigh's evocative writing. Krudop's paintings encompass both the steely blues, grays, and whites of a frigid, unearthly, and beautiful snowbound landscape, and the fiery, candle-lit cold of Byrd's dwelling.
