"Seth Kantner illuminates an Alaska most of us will never know." Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal
*Nonfiction short stories that pull you into the lives of those living in an otherworldly place
*Author received a Whiting Award naming him one of the nation's top-ten emerging writers
*Publisher's Weekly called the author's 2004 debut novel, Ordinary Wolves, ""a tour de force""
When Seth Kantner's novel, Ordinary Wolves, was published 10 years ago, it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards.”
