A journey to Alaska's remote roadless villages, during a time of
great historical transition, brings us this enduring portrait of a
place and its people. Alutiiq, Yup'ik, Inupiaq, and Athabascan
subjects reveal themselves as entirely contemporary individuals
with deep longings and connection to the land and to their past.
Tom Kizzia's account of his travels off the Alaska road system,
first published in 1991, has endured with a sterling reputation for
its thoughtful, poetic, unflinching engagement with the complexity
of Alaska's rural communities. Wake of the Unseen Object is now
considered some of the finest nonfiction writing about Alaska. This
new edition includes an updated introduction by the author, looking
at what remains the same after thirty years and what is
different-both in Alaska, and in the expectations placed on a
reporter visiting from another world.
