We are very excited to announce our second publication for 2024! In the Shadow of Tungusuak by the late Chris Buckley is a rare, true story of two brothers’ journey through the mountains, glaciers, rivers, of the Torngat Mountains. We have been very fortunate to bring this story to print with Chris’s widow, Jennifer Morris, and Chris’s brother and travel companion, Brendan Buckley. Composed using travel journals Chris made on two separate trips to the Torngats twenty years apart, the book is a vital addition to the canon of expedition literature about Labrador.
In the Shadow of Tungusuak is also the first book that we will be officially and initially launching in the USA! The November 30 launch at the Inspire Cafe in Ashland, New Hampshire has already sold out but the book will be available Laconia, NH at the Innisfree Bookshop likely by December. Exact date to be determined. More updates for our Canadian friends very soon!
Advance praise for In the Shadow of Tungusuak:
“Buckley laces together a narrative that flows like a braided river across the wild landscape of northern Labrador. Among loving descriptions of the austerely beautiful and singularly lonely Torngat Mountains are moments of struggle, humor, and fraternal tenderness, and a lingering sadness over our collective inability to let truly wild places just be.”
—Anders Morley, author of This Land of Snow
“This is the best kind of adventure story, where the internal is mapped against the external, and neither journey is without peril.”
—Joseph Monninger, author of Eternal on the Water
