Publisher Synopsis
In this sharply-crafted debut collection, Moustakis invites readers into a world filled with gruff characters, breathtaking wilderness, and a fierceness of spirit as crisp as the Alaskan winter . . . The gifted Moustakis' attention to detail and blunt, sharp prose will surely resonate with readers and fellow writers alike."-Publishers Weekly"The Kenai is the lifeblood that flows through Moustakis' arrestingly concise, subtly poetic, and piercing short stories about several generations of an extended family."-Booklist (starred review) Read more...
