Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range
The Iron Range has found its voice in Aaron Brown. The kid with Coke-bottle glasses who was raised in a trailer next to his parents' junkyard has grown up to write a ferocious, loving anthem to his home region. Historical, political, deeply personal, Overburden is rich with details but sizzles with narrative drive. Oddly enough--or maybe not--Brown, as author, has all the qualities we look for in a great hockey player: guts and heart, vision, skills, and speed. Rangers will see themselves in this book. Outsiders will be stung by envy.- Barton Sutter, Minnesota book award winning author of Cold Comfort --Red Step Press
