Product Review
There's a story of blind, old Rosie in Unalakleet; a woman's musk-ox hunting trip on Nunivak Island; and a boy whose father so wanted to go to Alaska that "fish swam throughout [his] Sunday services in schools of metaphors." Twenty short stories tell about the old ways and the integration of the newcomers; they impart the flavor of Alaska from smoked marten to raw salmon.
Midwest Book Review
Alaska Passages is an impressive anthology of original, true stories of adventure, work, life, and place in the last frontier. Through these twenty fresh views of Alaska, the wild place finds a voice of its own, and an unexpected Alaska emerges. Readers will share a woman's musk-ox hunting tripe in the Arctic; the personal politics of a teachers' strike in Anchorage; the shifting social currents that develop when natives mix with newcomers; a harrowing sailboat race around Admiralty Island; and a fantastic encounter with elfin apparitions on a cold snow night. Alaska demands a different mettle from its people than most of the lower forty-eight, and these engaging essays express that robust spirit.
