A National Book Award finalist, tales from the sea and dispatches about the natural world ranked among some of the most memorable and meaningful works of 2022 that our book reviewers encountered this year.
Frank Soos was known for his close, empathetic examination of human lives and the fine craftsmanship of his essays and short stories. These same qualities are evident in his posthumous book of stories.
We’re fortunate to have these final, lasting stories from Soos, this conclusion of mature work marked by insightful and kind examination of our world and how any of us make our way through it.Alaskans likely know in general terms about northern fur seals, their breeding grounds on the Pribilof Islands of St. Paul and St. George, and the Unangax people who were brought to the islands to kill seals for commercial interests and whose descendants remain there today.
Vanasse has given us a tremendous example of how close we came to losing one large and significant species, and how science, art and committed cooperation helped avert that tragedy.By Lara Messersmith-Glavin; University of Alaska Press, 2022; 190 pages; $16.95 paper, $13.95 ebook.
