The public image of Alaska for those who live elsewhere tends to be
bound up with the outdoors. But while that's not necessarily false,
it's a far from complete picture. This collection of stories shows
us what we're missing: set in Alaska's cities and suburbs, homes
and back roads, cars and kitchens and bedrooms, it offers not tales
of adventures, but quietly powerful psychological dramas,
introspective explorations of the private triumphs and failures of
personal life played out in an extraordinary place. Jean Anderson
delicately balances the lyrical and the experimental to tell the
stories of hardworking Alaskans teachers, laborers, dental
hygienists, artists worrying over fairness and equity and meaning,
falling in and out of love, and pondering elusive, long-dreamed-of
goals. Powered by a rich empathy, Human Being Songs shows us life
in Alaska as it's actually lived today its successes, failures, and
moments of transcendent beauty.
