Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-03 00:00:00 Shawn Waltman Johnson brought back memories of my own trips to Alaska, flying in float planes in terrible storms, wanting to always fly with the experienced old pilot who had crashed numerous times only because he knew how to survive them, the old Beaver cargo planes, wilderness jaunts, loggers, whiskey, and barges.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-06-30 00:00:00 Edward Harris Denis Johnson is one of the best writers in America. There. Anything else need be said? Oh, yeah, this is a bunch of mostly non-fiction essays that are mostly very interesting and contain of all Johnson's trademark humanity, philosophy, descriptive ability, and lack of ego. Johnson travels from a Rainbow Gathering to Somalia to settle in and get a feel of things without making judgments. No grand pronouncements, just observation.
