I read Welcome to the Goddam Ice Cube: Chasing Fear And Finding Home In The Great White North by Blair Braverman because it was listed as a book about Alaska. Although Alaska is mentioned during those three years Blair worked as a dog sled guide, the book is also about Norway because she lived there too. Cold is mentioned. Wildlife are mentioned. The tundra is mentioned along with fjords and glaciers and ice floes. At least half of the book is about her experiences as a young woman in a hostile climate dealing with Neanderthal men and their sexist and sometimes criminal behavior. Blair meets nice men too but this one coworker in Alaska takes the cake. He (Dan) takes the creepy, stalkery, clueless, rapist cake. I really hope he read the book. Even better, I hope all of his significant others read this book too.
