[at-l] The Last American Man

[quoleldil@yahoo.com (Quoleldil)]

Speaking of high wildness values and all, perhaps this book, reviewed in today's NYT, may add
something or another ... anybody read it yet? Here's an excerpt from the NYT book review, p. 16,
Sunday, June 2, 2002:

He is indeed powerful, smar and charismatic. Nor is he ever anything less tahn honest or authentic
in his dealings with others. He does indeed know how to live in harmony with the natural world,
and desperately wishes to lead an entire nation to the same goal. It is other people he has
trouble with ... [Eustace] Conway simply cannot tolerate a harmony in which different voices
blend. Everyone must sing the same tune in his chorus.

The reviewer, James Gorman [who writes about the outdoors for the NYT], calls it a "wickedly
well-written and finally pain-filled biography."

The Last American Man, by Elizabeth Gilbert. 271 pp. New York: Viking. $24.95.
