His charmingly offbeat cousin, Go-boy, is equally convinced that Cesar will stay. And so they set a wager. If Cesar is still in Unalakleet in a year, he has to get a copy of Go-boy's Eskimo Jesus tattoo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGo-boy, who recently dropped out of college, believes wholeheartedly that he is part of a Good World conspiracy. At first Cesar considers Go-boy half crazy, but over time in this village, with his father absent and his brother in jail for murder, Cesar begins to see the beauty and hope Go-boy represents. The choice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a novel about a different Alaska than many of us have read about in the past, about a different kind of wilderness and survival. As Cesar (who later assumes his Eskimo name, Atausiq) becomes connected to the community and to Go-boy, the imprint he bears isn't Go-boy's tattoo but the indelible mark of Go-boy's heart and philosophy, a philosophy of hope that emphasizes our similarities to one another as well as a shared sense of community, regardless of place. As Go-boy says to Cesar, \"Sometimes we're always real same-same.\"","brand":"Unbridled Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45133382582423,"sku":"9781932961874","price":1218.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781932961874.webp?v=1767282273","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sometimes-were-always-real-same-same-9781932961874","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
