A good book. ( ) I truly enjoyed John Daniel's meditative journey (that's really what this book is). He bravely decides to spend five months (an entire dark, oregon winter) alone in a cabin along the Rogue River. The method Daniel uses is interesting and engaging--he easily navigates between his present angst of loneliness and the still sharp wounds of his past and his troubled relationship with his father. Daniel also has a wry sense of humor which prevails throughout his book. Definitely a worthwhile read. (Claire) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
NOW IN PAPERBACK In November of 2000, after the presidential election but before the final results had been handed down by the Supreme Court, John Daniel climbed into his pickup, drove to a remote location in Oregon's Rogue River Canyon, and quit civilization. The strictures were severe. No two-way human communication - not even with his wife - no radio, no music, not even his cat. He would isolate himself in a cabin sure to be snowed in soon after his arrival, intent on hearing no human voice but his own until spring thawed the road. This experiment in solitude was an attempt to clarify his identity while pursuing daily life without the distractions of the world at large. Daniel had spent a week or two alone before, but this would be an entirely new challenge, and as he drove off into the mountains he felt a fear-tinged freedom. This book chronicles his journey in solitude, a season of memory, and his search for a coherent place to stand on the earth. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
