EXCELLENT book about life in SE Alaska (Ketchikan, Metlakatla: construction, school)

[Metlakatla]

I attended a local literary night where an author named Tom Hunt talked about his life in Alaska and his inspirations for his book, "Bad Water." It's a collection of short stories. He's lived outside of Ketchikan for over forty years, has taught school, gone commercial fishing, worked construction -- the typical SE life.

I don't often recommend or endorse books, but this one really captures the unique spirit of southern Southeast Alaska. It can be found on Amazon, Kindle, and the other other usual places. Again, the author's name is Tom Hunt, and his book is called "Bad Water."

Y/W. Didn't mean to type in all caps, though.

Southeast is underrepresented in Alaskan literature, so it's always good to find something that portrays it well. There were quite a few times when I was reading this book that a little light clicked on and I knew that only another person familiar with SE would "get."
