Every year, reviewers David James and Nancy Lord find more than 50 books to share with ADN readers, from poetry to non-fiction and true crime. The only common thread: each book has some connection to Alaska. After a year of reading and writing, here are the books that left the deepest impressions. It was my pleasure this year to review for this newspaper 24 new books related to Alaska in some way. Here are six of my favorites. They represent journalism, memoir, fiction and prose poetry.
The Edge of Every Day: Sketches of Schizophrenia By Marin Sardy. Pantheon, 2019. 304 pages. $25.95 Marin Sardy grew up in Anchorage with a mother with schizophrenia and a brother who developed it as a young man and lived on the streets for years. Her deeply affecting book, told in essays that function as chapters, traces her family’s journey through the challenges and despair of mental illness and our capacity — as family, friends and community — to address it.
