My book “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range” was featured in Sunday’s “What are you reading?” segment in the Duluth News Tribune. This is the segment that replaced an actual human book editor with submitted reader reviews. But hey, why sweat the journalistic implications when a reader has something this nice to say about your book?
With stories of politics, history, culture and a funny tale of a picnic gone wrong, the reader will walk away with a much better understanding of what it means to be a Ranger in modern times. This is not a typical historical narrative of the Iron Range. Brown shows a conflicted relationship with the place he grew up. He does not glorify life on the Range, but his pride in where he comes from is present throughout the book. If you have lived on the Range, visited the Range, or have even heard of the Range, this book will not disappoint.
The review comes from Nikolas Bayuk of Duluth. I just met him at my UW-Superior event last week. Thanks, Nik!
