"Backyard barons invite you to life-philosophical self-reflection and to puzzle with everything we think we know. I send my warmest recommendations."
– Modspor

We find ourselves on the edge of the world. Mythological creatures fight for survival in a poetic and merciless race against the sun. In this work, nature gets its own beautiful and strange voice as individual elements and words are replaced by iconography that the reader must decode. *The Thirsty Land* is a pastiche consisting solely of quotes taken from the David Attenborough documentary Africa.
