Here are ten celebrated stories of contemporary Alaska, afull-color, no-holds-barred portrayal of life in the Great Land.Alaskans 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 young Jed Hanson, a boy on the cusp of manhood, becomes immersed in the terrors and beauties of the natural world. Part of a true literature of Alaska . embraces the vast land to include firefighters, fishermen, quirky old-timers, startlingly realNatives, 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 Tanyo Ravicz, Books, Fiction and Literature, Alaskans: Stories Books>Fiction and Literature <
