Unlearning to Fly is the memoir of a bookworm growing up in Alaskaamong people whose resilience, restlessness, and energy find their highest expression in winter ascents up Mount McKinley or first descents down wild rivers. These are the flying stories of a fearful pilot who admires but does not emulate the more daring exploits of her father and friends.
The accounts of Jennifer Briceat times poignant, funny, and downright nerve-rackingare engaging recollections of deadly, near-deadly, and occasionally comic encounters between human nature and Nature writ large. The unlikely romance between her parents, the Good Friday earthquake, the Alaska oil boom, a stint as a newspaper reporter, and the trials of a student pilot form engaging chapters in Brice’s remarkable life. These are the stories in which the physics and metaphors of flightcenter of gravity, angle of attack, wake turbulenceilluminate Brice’s remarkable life story, recounted in prose that takes wing.
"Unlearning to Fly made me think more deeply about the skills I have learned and unlearned, the stories by which my life is patched together and launched into the world."
Eric Heyne, Western American Literature
