{"product_id":"alaskans-tanyo-ravicz-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. 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 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 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanyo Ravicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996105433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996105439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Denali Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.53d","brand":"Tanyo Ravicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181443739903,"sku":"9780996105439","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa5ba669-cc1f-4031-8487-36d620bde323.jpg?v=1690260481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alaskans-tanyo-ravicz-9780996105439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
