Letters from Alaska is based thematically upon the wilderness and
its capacity for renewal of the American spirit. The form of Book
I, though not strictly epistolary, hinges upon the predominant
first person; he, Ansley Perkins, strives to retain possession of
self against the fracturing influences of the civilization he
leaves. His struggle is resolved upon his arrival in Alaska. His
quest for the hero ends with himself. The surface time frame of
this novel is approximately three weeks, though, using the precept
of the omnipresent past, I've attempted an overview of the fifties
and early sixties in this country through a young man's eyes.
