Fire by Sebastian Junger

Fire by Sebastian Junger

Award winning journalist Sebastian Junger presents Fire, a collection of non-fiction essays exploring a world where people work-and live-on the edge. Whether he's describing smoke jumpers who parachute into massive forest fires, whale hunters who prowl the waters of the Caribbean, or diamond miners in Sierra Leone, Junger continues to explore his long-established fascination with dangerous jobs and the people who pursue them. Written with a keen eye for detail and resonating prose, Fire serves as a model of impactful journalism, demonstrating how to take readers places they wouldn't dream of going on their own.

"[Junger has] instinctive storytelling skills and [an] ability to convey a palpable sense of the craft and professional techniques of a vocation, be it fishing, firefighting, harpooning whales or diamond smuggling . . . [He] is at his best creating a mood and sense of place through small details set down in Hemingwayesque prose."-New York Times
