Passage to Juneau

“A work of great beauty and inexhaustible fervor.” —The Washington Post Book World“Endlessly suggestive…. Nobody now writing keeps a more provocative house than Jonathan Raban.” —The New York Times Book Review“A great book by the very best contempoary writer afloat.” —The Oregonian“Raban is a super-sensitive, all-seeing eye. He spots things we might otherwise miss; he calls up the apt metaphors that transform things into phenomenal. One of our most gifted observers.“ —Newsday
