By the time Blair Braverman was eighteen, she had left her home in California, moved to arctic Norway to learn to drive sled dogs, and found work as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska. Determined to carve out a life as a tough girl a young woman who confronts danger without apology, she slowly developed the strength and resilience that the North demanded of her. Weaving together fast-paced adventure writing, ethnographic journalism, and elegantly wrought reflections on identity, welcome to the goddamn ice cube captures the triumphs and the perils of Braverman's journey to self-discovery and independence in a landscape as beautiful as it unforgiving. |
