Review
"A fresh wonderful new voice, all the more alive against the grave and ancient background of Inupiat tradition, wildlife, and the waiting landscape. I much admire The Last Light Breaking." --- "Peter Matthiessen, author of" The Snow Leopard "and "At Play in the Fields of the Lord
"The Last Light Breaking by Nick Jans A Phenomenal Work of Literary Artistry I ve read a number of books artfully crafted by Nick Jans The Grizzly Maze and A Wolf Called Romeo to name two of my favorites. I recently had the opportunity to read Nick s first book, The Last Light Breaking. I savored this journey into the lives of the Inupiat people of Ambler, Alaska a people who, according to Jans, 'move within the eddying currents of time, space and light where the laws of physics seem to float freely, compressing and expanding, refusing logic.' This book is an anthropological treasure. Yet it s much, much more than that. For the naturalist, the outdoors person, wildlife biologist and those who simply enjoy a damn fine artist (Jans) and the tales of his time in a place that most will never journey remotely close too It s a fantastic read! The characters, creatures, culture and challenges of living in a remote village like Ambler provide a wide and diverse audience with every element essential to invigorating the readers interest and a yearning to return to the volume to continue enjoying Jans literary artistry. Buy it. Savor it. Learn. Listen. Prepare to perceive the world around you in a unique and precious way." BillDahl.net"
