MARTHA BAILLIE and THE SCHLOGEL ARCHIVE We're very happy to welcome Martha Baillie to THIN AIR 2014. There's so much to explore, someone could get lost in it. Martha calls it 'A Novel Redistributed.' It's fascinating. Martha has constructed a website to accompany the novel, The Schlo¨gel Archive, full of images and imagined postcards. It's mysterious, beautiful, and compelling. Her previous novels include My Sister Esther, follows a young student who leaves his claustrophobic German town for a twoweek wilderness hike in Canada's north, The Search for Heinrich Schlo¨gel, which was long-listed for the Giller Prize.Her dreamlike new novel, and The Incident Report, The Shape I Gave You, Madame Balashovskaya's Apartment, only to discover on his return that thirty years have passed although he himself has not aged. Poet, the Sorbonne, Martha was born in Toronto and at the University of Edinburgh, story-teller, novelist, and University of Toronto.
