“[Newman’s] characters move between stories like pieces in a sliding puzzle…their backcountry bravado — shooting wolves from turboprops, using float planes like taxis, plucking mastodon fossils from melting glaciers — is animated by Newman’s flair for description…We are all marching toward our demise, the title of Newman’s collection reminds us. But, as these vivid tales make clear, it is our “flinty, fearsome resolve” for survival that gives us life.” —Mike Peed, New York Times
“ Nobody Gets Out Alive is a thrilling collection. Leigh Newman’s indelible characters chart the turbulent waters of hope and regret in an Alaskan landscape that crackles with danger and wonder. These are gritty and powerful stories, from a wildly gifted writer.” —Laura van den Berg, author of I Hold a Wolf by the Ears
