Synopses & Reviews
Nobody writes about nature and the American landscape the way Craig Childs does. Answering the call of the fiercest of terrains, he opens up to us sites that we would otherwise never visit and, through his uncanny powers of description, makes us feel that we have experienced the very essence of these places. The death-defying and life-affirming journeys that Childs records in Soul of Nowhere make up an exhilarating exploration of his own (and our collective) attraction to remote and forbidding landscapes.
