Walking Home: A Traveler in the Alaskan Wilderness,… av Lynn Schooler
Excellent account of a guy walking in the wilderness of Alaska. including his terrifying experience of meeting a bear
Very nice for a first book. The descriptive writing brought Alaska alive. This is ultimately a book about friendship, discovery, and loss. The vehicle for these themes is the natural world and the human interaction portrayed. I especially enjoyed the passages describing whales - their feeding, communication, and their general behaviors.
Parts of this book are very sad and immersed the reader in the authors loss of family & friends.

This was recommended to me by a book seller in Ketchikan when I asked about local literature. The story is interesting and Lynn presents an accurate picture of Alaskan life. I do wish that he were a little better writer.
Lynn Schooler lives in Juneau and earns his living as a guide to Alaskan wild places. He's a guy with rough edges: a loner, whose spine is twisted by scoliosis. THe book chronicles his friendship with Michio Hoshino a wildlife photographer from Japan. In contrast to the author, Michio is a warm and open person who makes friends easily.
Together, Lynn and Michio search for the rare blue bear in remote Alaska. This gives an opportunity to explore the natural history and Alaskan history and culture. Lynn is very knowledgable and it's a fascinating subject.
Sadly, Michio was killed in a bear attack while on a photo shoot in Russia. The book gives a review of the risks and rewards of wilderness activities.… (mer)
