A whimsical look at the pleasures and challenges of living in the far north-now in paperback! A whimsical look at the pleasures and challenges of living in the far north-now in paperback! "Sutter knows Duluth and the hinterlands to the North the way Garrison Keillor knows Lake Wobegon and the prairies. With a nimble wit and a roving eye for detail, Sutter goes beneath the veneer of the North Country to expose its attraction, its quirks, and its characters. There isn't a clinker in the collection, and even if you've lived your entire life in Duluth or the North Country, you'll see your home place with new insight after reading Cold Comfort." Duluth News-Tribune "Mostly whimsical, sometimes meditative, but most often warmhearted, these essays explore Lake Superior, its neighboring rivers and streams, duck hunting, cross-country skiing, bridges, cider-pressing parties, and camping out in the family car. Sutter's prose is clean, straightforward, and sometimes mirthful." Chicago New City "An oddly brilliant and lovely little book. . . . Resonant, evocative, and splendidly written." Jim Harrison Temperatures that dive to forty degrees below zero are only part of life in northern Minnesota, according to award-winning writer Barton Sutter. Cold Comfort is his temperamental tribute to the city of Duluth, Minnesota, where bears wander the streets and canoe racks are standard equipment. Winner of a 1998 Northeast Minnesota Book Award Winner of a 1998 Minnesota Book Award for Creative Nonfiction
