CLICK HERE to download a free sample from Swallowed by the Great Land Seth Kantner illuminates an Alaska most of us will never know. -Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever and The Voyage of the Narwhal - Nonfiction short stories that pull you into the lives of those living in an otherworldly place - Seth Kantner received a Whiting Award naming him one of the nation's top-ten emerging writers - Publisher's Weekly called the author's 2004 debut novel, Ordinary Wolves, a tour de force When Seth Kantner's novel, Ordinary Wolves, was published 10 years ago, it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards. Seth's nonfiction second book, the memoir Shopping for Porcupine, was even more compelling for many readers--the same raw details of a homesteading upbringing, but intensely personal. Now, in Swallowed by the Great Land, he once again brings us into his lyrical wilderness existence. Swallowed by the Great Land features slice-of-life essays that further reveal the duality in the author's own life today, and also in the village and community that he inhabits--a mosaic of all life on the tundra. Unique characters, village life, wilderness and the larger landscape, a warming Arctic, and hunting and other aspects of subsistence living are all explored in varied yet intimate stories.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. In the tradition of Jack London, Seth Kantner presents an Alaska far removed from majestic clich s of exotic travelogues and picture postcards. Kantner's vivid and poetic prose lets readers experience Cutuk Hawcly's life on the Alaskan plains through the character's own words -- feeling the pliers pinch of cold and hunkering in an igloo in blinding blizzards. Always in Cutuk's mind are his father Ab; the legendary hunter Enuk Wolfglove, and the wolves -- all living out lives on the unforgiving tundra. Jeered and pummeled by native children because he is white, Cutuk becomes a marginal participant in village life, caught between cultures. After an accident for which he is responsible, he faces a decision that could radically change his life. Like his young hero, Seth Kantner grew up in a sod igloo in the Alaska, and his experiences of wearing mukluks before they were fashionable, eating boiled caribou pelvis, and communing with the native tribes add depth and power to this acclaimed narrative.…
