A novel. In 1970 a group of idealistic folks living in a commune in California decide to relocate to the last frontier: the wilds of interior Alaska. There they meet another group of people, who don’t necessarily share their philosophical perceptions, who are already “living off the land.” Dangerous rivalries and unlikely alliances develop. “This is a surprising story, one that reveals human behavior at its rawest, most tender and most compelling. It is also a rich, allusive and unsentimental look at the ideals of a generation and their impact on today’s radically transformed world.” Now in paper. #21769
