Book Synopsis

From the sharp, comic voice of Haunted Inside Passage, Never Cry Halibut is a collection of humorous and thoughtful short essays about hunting and fishing in Alaska.

Accompanied by photographs, each story reflects the author's three-decade relationship with the wildest places left in North America as he interacts with brown bears, wolves, wilderness, commercial fishing, and the nearly forgotten act of harvesting food from the wild. From hilarious tales of his nieces outfishing him to reflective ruminations on the human connection to nature, Bjorn captures the liveliness that comes from living so close to the Southeast Alaska wilds.

Review Quotes

"Bjorn Dihle is one of the more exciting voices to emerge from Alaska in the last decade. His work is honest, humorous and engaging-and saturated with an authentic Alaskan outlook impossible to fake. You'll want to read this again and again." --Troy Leatherman, Hunt Alaska Magazine and Fish Alaska Magazine

"Bjorn Dihle tells stories with understated humor and passion, and a hard-earned knowledge not only of Alaska's expansive wilderness, but also of the ground beneath his feet. His laid-back approach and likable manner come across in every line and often belie the effort and danger inherent in many of his pursuits. His voice is authentic Alaska." -Russ Lumpkin, editor Gray's Sporting Journal and former editor Alaska

"Author Bjorn Dihle beautifully chronicles his experiences as a outdoorsman son of Alaska and takes you on a hunting and fishing retrospective journey to the Last Frontier's steep mountains, lush forests and pristine salmon-filled rivers." --Chris Cocoles, Alaska Sporting Journal

"Jovial Alaskan essays come together with humor and a sense of nature's majesty, as well as notes about big game and fish catches. . . a collection that speaks to the human need to explore, understand, and dream about the wilderness beyond our door." --Foreword Reviews
