'With poetic cadence and magical tone, Lord writes of her life from June to August, days filled with the mending of nets, the muscle-wrenching labor of the catch, the exquisite pleasure of an improvised hot-tub, and the often subtle beauty of the inlet's flora and fauna. Woven throughout Lord's adventures is the deeper history of the region's stories and legends of the native Dena'ina people; anecdotes about past and current residents; and descriptions of their neighbors, both human and animal.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"These pages teem with provocative ideas about wild country, its uncertain place in the world, and the way landscape can shape a life*[Lord] is a wonderful writer, and this is a terrific book."
Jon Krakauer
"If you ever dreamed of chucking it all to become a fisherman in Alaska, Fishcamp will make your dreams more vivid."
-- Sue Halpern
