"Capacious, capricious, mischievous, "The Search for Heinrich Schlogel" moves like a quantum experiment, defying boundaries of time, place, chronology. Fluid as light itself, animated by startling imagery, vivid and peculiar characters, "The Search for Heinrich Schlogel" is a hymn to brooding memory, the enduring need to inhabit story, and a haunting insistence upon endless possibilities within possibility. That is to say, hope."
--Gina Ochsner, author of "The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight"
"Martha Baillie's extraordinary "The Search for Heinrich Schlogel" is not quite like any other book I've read. It invites us on a hallucinatory journey to the Arctic and through time. It asks us to live with mystery and wonder, which is what a work of art does. If it reminds me of anything, it is the fabulous, shape-shifting novels of the Icelandic writer Sjon."
--Catherine Bush, author of "The Rules of Engagement" and "Accusation"

Praise for "The Incident Report" (longlisted for the 2009 Giller Prize and one of the "Globe and Mail"'s Best Books of 2009)
"Baillie's novel contains real tenderness, rendered in beautiful prose with compelling restraint."
--"Quill and Quire"
"Baillie is a naturally figurative writer and, through precise and concrete imagery, captures, paradoxically, what is simply too much for measured words."
--"Globe and Mail"
Praise for "The Shape I Gave You"
"Baillie's style is articulate, elegantly nuanced and replete with allusions to artists and thinkers . . . The counterpoint of pleasure and pain is moulded by memory--and Baillie does an excellent job of showing how memory creates the past and the present. "The Shape I Gave You" is exquisitely genuine . . . Baillie's examination of emotion is unfaltering in its deep compassion."
--"Globe and Mail"

"The "Search for Heinrich Schlogel" is utterly distinctive, a fictional biography that drifts so imperceptibly into dream that it's impossible to tell where the reality of it ends and the fantasy begins. There's something of Nabokov here, and also something of Rip Van Winkle. Baillie has written an ode to those things that resist time, like a photograph, and those things that relinquish themselves to it, like a painting, resulting in a novel that is itself a little bit of both."

"Bewitching riddle of a novel."
--"O, the Oprah Magazine"
"Martha Baillie has written a timeless masterpiece. Every page is full of haunting wonderment. Truly, I know of no novel quite like it--it's a blessing. "The Search for Heinrich Schlogel" has dreamlike locutions, it tells the most unusual tale, and it brings the margins of the world to us with photographic immediacy. I was completely transported."
--Howard Norman, author of "Next Life Might Be Kinder"
"How is it possible to find a person who doesn't know he's missing? How can we be entangled in the world, in history, and live a moral life? Heinrich Schlogel doesn't give up his secrets easily, but as time collapses and opens, an extraordinary person, and an astonishing reading experience, come into existence. Martha Baillie's new novel is entirely original, remembered yet created, truthful yet fictional, old, alive and visionary."

Reseña del editor
Martha Baillie’s hypnotic novel follows Heinrich Schlögel from Germany to Canada, where he sets out on a solo hike into the interior of Baffin Island. His journey quickly becomes surreal; he experiences strange encounters and inexplicable visions. Time plays tricks on him. When he returns to civilization, he discovers that, though he has not aged, thirty years have passed. Narrated by an unnamed archivist who is attempting to piece together the truth of Heinrich’s life, The Search for Heinrich Schlogel dances between reality and fantasy. Heinrich’s story, as it unfolds, in today’s disappearing North, asks us to consider our role in imagining the future into existence while considering the consequences of our past choices. Brimming with the creativity behind David Mitchell’s masterpiece Cloud Atlas in a far north setting, The Search for Heinrich Schlogel is a sophisticated story with magical underpinnings.
