About In the Shadow of Tungusuak
Chris Buckley
In the Shadow of Tungusuak by the late Chris Buckley, published by Brack and Brine is a rare, true story of two brothers’ journey through the mountains, glaciers, and rivers, of the Torngat Mountains. This story has been brought to print by 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.
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
