Alaska
Alaska has always played a beautiful, unknowable, and sometimes dangerous character in American literature, one we have loved meeting in Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, Dave Eggers’ Heroes of the Frontier, and Jack London’s Call of the Wild. Knowing that Alaska has been a muse as well as a setting for redemption arcs and new starts made her all the more appealing to us. We associate Alaska with a sense of awe and wonder, and that, she gives generously.
