MANCHESTER, NH — “Mosquito Rain: Alaskan Travel Essays,” is a collection as far ranging as hidden salmon fishing hot spots to walking into glaciers to finding eagles in Valdez Bay, penned by Manchester author Dan Szczesny.
His Alaska is terrifying and beautiful; a land of equal parts danger and wonder. If you want your travel tinged with a hint of off-road exploration, “Mosquito Rain” is the book for you. So, brush off the mosquitoes, boil up some dehydrated noodles and sit back and enjoy discovering an Alaska you’d never known existed on Nov. 29, when Szczesny wraps up a season of book talks on home turf.
The talk will include glaciers, salmon, hiking, Denali and of course grizzlies. Slide show and book signing — perfect for those on your gift list who enjoy a good adventure read. The 90-minute event is free and begins at 7 p.m. at the Manchester City Library, 405 Pine St.
