{"product_id":"9780996105439","title":"Alaskans: Stories","description":"Here are ten celebrated stories of contemporary Alaska, a full-color, no-holds-barred portrayal of life in the Great Land.\u003cp\u003eALASKANS paints a series of unforgettable portraits of Alaskans in all walks of life. A firefighter confronts his mixed identity as a wildfire rages; a teenager discovers one of the perils of cannery work; friends hunt for happiness at the top of the world; rivals meet over the grave of the man they loved. Spirited, wide-ranging, by turns tender and blunt, written in a lean and vigorous prose, the selection includes Tanyo Ravicz's classic novella \"A Fox in May,\" in which Jed Hanson, a boy on the cusp of manhood, becomes immersed in the terrors and beauties of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Part of a true literature of Alaska. Embraces the vast land to include firefighters, fishermen, quirky old-timers, startlingly real Natives, and eager cheechakos, male and female, who bring to this demanding, dream-filled world a memorable energy and a hunger for authenticity. Ravicz's writing whispers, sings, and howls--about colliding passions, unforgiving realities, hard-won success, enduring love, and never-predictable joy. These stories tell lasting truths about our lives.\" --Jean Anderson, author of In Extremis and Other Alaskan Stories\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denali Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036185870576,"sku":"9780996105439","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780996105439_p0.jpg?v=1763901519","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780996105439","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
