Beskrivelse

The public image of Alaska for those who live elsewhere tends to be bound up with the outdoors. But while that's not necessarily false, it's a far from complete picture. This collection of stories shows us what we're missing: set in Alaska's cities and suburbs, homes and back roads, cars and kitchens and bedrooms, it offers not tales of adventures, but quietly powerful psychological dramas, introspective explorations of the private triumphs and failures of personal life played out in an extraordinary place. Jean Anderson delicately balances the lyrical and the experimental to tell the stories of hardworking Alaskans teachers, laborers, dental hygienists, artists worrying over fairness and equity and meaning, falling in and out of love, and pondering elusive, long-dreamed-of goals. Powered by a rich empathy, Human Being Songs shows us life in Alaska as it's actually lived today its successes, failures, and moments of transcendent beauty.
