Description
This memoir by a Canadian artist tells of his many fascinating experiences in the move he made from the Arctic to Manhattan. Houston spent 14 years in the Arctic, developing the Inuit art that is now world famous. In 1962, he moved to NY City to become a glass designer. An engaging storyteller, he captures his difficult life-style change in a series of short vignettes. Punctuated by his own B&W sketches, they follow not only his blundering attempts to take Manhattan, but also the incredible zigzags that his life has taken, including 26 trips back to the Arctic. Also tells of his experiences as a sheep farmer, best-selling novelist, Hollywood scriptwriter, and prizewinning author of 17 children's books.
