1998 University of Minnesota Press hardcover, Barton Sutter (My Father's War: Stories of Midwestern Men). Temperatures that dive to forty degrees below zero are only part of life in northern Minnesota, according to award-winning writer Barton Sutter. Cold Comfort is his temperamental tribute to the city of Duluth, Minnesota, where bears wander the streets and canoe racks are standard equipment.
