This was a book that was recommended to me in a bookstore in Alaska when I asked, “If I were to read one book about Alaska while I’m here, which ones would you recommend?” The answer was more complicated than “Read this one,” because like anything, the state and culture of Alaska contains infinite multitudes. But this was recommended to me when I said I wanted a book about nature. This was a slow-paced book, and not in a bad way. Similar to “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating,” this is a book for a snowy day. I can imagine myself pulling this book from its permanent place on my desk on a snow day, wishing for something slow, enjoyable, with beautiful writing and a lot of heart. If you’re looking for poetic prose about nature in Alaska, this is a great choice if you’re burnt out on John Muir.
