"Narrow Road to the Deep North" is the extraordinary story of a young woman's experiences among Athabascan Indians in the interior of Alaska. A poet recently returned from the salons of Paris, the author takes a job teaching in a remote region of Alaska. As she comes to know the region and its peoples-and learns to see the visible and invisible world around her-she finds herself more and more the student rather than the teacher.
Her teachers are the native people of the region, especially a woman named Malfa Ivanov, who becomes her guide into the country. Her advice: "Pay attention to what things do in our country, not what they are called in yours." As the author learns to pay attention to the world around her, she finds that the land itself holds a world of spirits and dreams.
A true story on an epic scale, charged with a unique, informed intelligence and told with a relentless realism that portrays Alaska and its people without romanticizing them, this is the moving story of a woman's path to knowledge in a remote, austere land.
Katherine McNamara is the publisher ofArchipelago," an online literary journal. Her poetry and nonfiction have been widely published in journals and reviews. She lives in Virginia.
Cultural Writing. Travel. American Indian Studies. Abandoning her sojourn in Paris's literary culture in her late 20s, Katherine McNamara traveled to Alaska in 1976 'to learn how to live. The oil industry was ravaging Alaska's vast spaces...[and] as an iternant poetry teacher in the school districts of Alaska's interior, McNamara both witnessed and participated in the heartbreaking efforts of [the Athabaskan] people to fend off the destruction of their culture... McNamara's story centers in part on her brief...relationship with a Dena'ina Athabaskan man...Whether writing about intimate relationships, poetry or the intricacies of village life, her approach is full of grace and equanimity -- Publishers Weekly. This is the closest any Wasichu of our time will come to understanding the religion of Native nations... -- Larry Woiwode.
