Description
This is Upton's award winning account of a commercial fishing season in Southeast Alaska - the lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sun; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. In this new third edition from Epicenter Press, Alaska Blues remains a powerful evocation of time and place - of a people and their way of life, and haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.
