Ordinary Wolves
This year, Carroll's freshman class will all read Ordinary Wolves by Seth Kantner (2004), a novel about a boy's coming of age in rural Alaska. As the protagonist grows up, he searches to find his place within the wild ecosystem, amongst the native Inupiaq (as a white kid, he feels shunned by them), and in the urban environment of Anchorage. The Alpha faculty chose this book because it is a moving and well-crafted story about the search for identity. It will give us a lot to talk about that relates to our common Alpha Seminar theme, "Individual and Community."
Find out more and get your discussion questions.
Seth Kantner will be on campus Tuesday, August 26, to talk with us about his novel and his experiences in Alaska. His presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m. Be sure to put that on your calendar; attendance is required for all Alpha Seminar students. And you won't want to miss it!
