About this audiobook

A whole life laid end to end barely touches the dark. The Longest Road pulls back from the single crossing to the shape of an entire arctic tern existence: the looping fifty-thousand-mile route that is long on purpose, drawn to ride the planet's winds; the young bird feeding in a southern sea inside a year with no winter in it at all; the male tending eggs at midnight under a sun that will not set; and the ringed female on the cliff, past thirty years old, carrying a map older than anyone alive to count it. Four stories, about an hour of listening, about distance, time, and a small body that spends its whole life on the lit side of the turning world.
