SETH KANTNER
Saturday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Alaska writer and photographer Seth Kantner's debut novel, Ordinary Wolves, has long been a favorite of readers at Elliott Bay—customers and booksellers alike. We're particularly pleased to welcome him back for his new book, Shopping for Porcupine: A Life in Arctic Alaska (Milkweed). This is a striking collection of photographs and essays on life in the Arctic, both as it was, and is today. "Inspiring stories of an upbringing in the frosty wilderness ... Kantner testifies to the immense challenges of day-to-day survival in a homemade sod igloo, a structure that was regularly buried by sudden snow squalls, in a climate where 'frostbite was a way of life.'" - Kirkus Reviews.
