Über diesen Titel

A rich and revelatory memoir of a young woman confronting her fears and finding home in the North.

Blair Braverman fell in love with the North at an early age: By the time she was 19, she had left her home in California, moved to Norway to learn how to drive sled dogs, and worked as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska.

By turns funny and sobering, bold and tender, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube charts Blair's endeavor to become a "tough girl" - someone who courts danger in an attempt to become fearless. As she ventures into a ruthless arctic landscape, Blair faces down physical exhaustion - while being buried alive in an ice cave and driving a dogsled across the tundra through a whiteout blizzard in order to avoid corrupt police - and grapples with both love and violence as she negotiates the complex demands of being a young woman in a man's land.

Brilliantly original and bracingly honest, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube captures the triumphs and the perils of the journey to self-discovery and independence in a landscape that is as beautiful as it is unforgiving.

I was a fan of Blair Braverman‘s work coming into this and did not think my enthusiasm for her storytelling and voice could be higher than it already had been. But this really surprised me

Excellent! Wholehearted recommendation

This was both exactly what I expected and a complete and lovely surprise. I recommend it wholeheartedly and with all the enthusiasm of a sled dog waiting for the race to start

Everything and nothing like I expected

Some of this was hard to hear/ read but the book is excellent. She has a unique unapologetic style that I dig, though it comes with some rough terrain.

I’d read or listen to anything that Blair writes
