The Top of the Bottom of the World!
Written by the expedition doctor, this is the author's diary from the historic Chinese Antarctic expedition to build Kunlun Station in the middle of the immense Antarctic ice sheet. The expedition team not only had to ascend over four thousand meters at temperatures of sixty Fahrenheit below zero while fighting through snowstorms, they also had to overcome all sorts of difficulties, such as constantly changing plans, impossible loads, discontented construction workers, and low pay. Were they taking crazy risks? Was the expedition a foolish endeavor? The author's account is a vivid, truthful description of this great expedition undertaken by a team of moving individuals who aren't without their flaws and crude, or even sometimes rule-breaking, behavior. It is a story worth reading.
HOLDOUTS OF THE SNOWDRAGON BAR
It was a time of rebellion and rejection; a time of striking out for independence until time itself, as always, rebels. For a number of the dropouts who have escaped to this ski town playground, confronting the magical realism of midlife change becomes confounding. Rio Corda, among the most resistant, is an engineer-cum-bartender ski bum and descendent of conquistadors who is compelled by a pregnancy, abandonment, time travel, and a re-education by a nine-year-old cowgirl to come to terms with love. In her own way, Sarah Wendelin must travel beyond her history with parents, jobs, religion, previous relationships and restlessness to determine what she wants with Rio or without him. Their lives are peopled by an assortment of others seeking to maintain life as a retreat defined by forever. These include Quiet Bill Silver, a taciturn philosopher and erstwhile rival for Sarah’s affections; Margo Manning, a cynical rape victim hiding out behind her camera; Wally the Bear, an alternate state of reality incarnate; and Jeep McCoy, a messiah who forsakes the mountain holdouts for the flatlands of the future. Come uncap the disconcerting spirits of transformation with them and their cohorts amidst the beguiling environs of the Snowdragon Bar.
