About Winterdance: The Fine Madness Of Running The Iditarod
Amazon.com Review Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the 1150-mile winter sled-dog race between Anchorage and Nome-- in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature's worst elements and his own frailty. Product Description Paulsen and his team of dogs endured snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, and hallucinations in the relentless push to go on. Map and color photographs. From Publishers Weekly Acclaimed children's book author Paulsen offers a gripping account of his experience running the 1180 mile Iditarod dogsled race. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From The New Yorker In the tradition of Jack London...[Paulsen's] prose is spare and physical; at its best, it has the fluid simplicity of Hemingway... He also has a sense of farce...What's most moving is his behavior at the end of the race: "I didn't want to go in," he says. Armchair travelers will understand.
