ABOUT
Blair Braverman is a columnist and contributing editor for Outside magazine, and writes for a range of venues, including The New York Times, Vogue, and This American Life. She is the author of Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube, as well as two new books of nonfiction, forthcoming from Ecco/HarperCollins.
WELCOME TO THE GODDAMN ICE CUBE
“As a storyteller and a stylist, Braverman is remarkably skilled, with a keen sense of visceral detail that borders on sublime. Her ability to draw readers into heart-pounding action sequences is what makes the book so courageous and original as a travel narrative and a memoir of self-discovery.”
“
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
“. . . a richly insightful work whose bold but delicately delivered honesty has much to teach us. . . . Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube is gorgeous, moving and universally resonant. Most of all, it’s important.”
