Review:
Alaska Blues is the moving, true account of that one season of fishing, living on the edge, surviving not only on the whims of nature but also the shifting fortunes of the fishing industry itself. -- Palo Alto Daily News, April 1999
Upton tours us through open channels and narrow fjords, past forested shorelines, tiny villages, abandoned homesteads and deserted canneries. We experience the life of the independent fisher including the lonely hours at sea, the satisfaction of a good's day catch, and the easy camaraderie of other fishers. Alaska Blues offers up an authentic tale of the Southeast Alaska landscape and a fascinating way of life. -- The Midwest Book Review

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. ".A beautifully written book about commercial fishing in coastal waters. Joe Upton delivers both the reality and romance of Southeast Alaska."--David Guterson, author of "Snow Falling on Cedars" FOR SEVEN MONTHS Joe Upton steered his 30-foot boat, the "Doreen," through the open channels and narrow, twisting passageways of Southeast Alaska, living the life of an itinerant commercial fisherman far from home. This is Upton's award-winning account of that season--the lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sunshine; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. "Alaska Blues" endures as a powerful and enduring portrait of a time and place--of a people and their way of life and the haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.
