Steven Dopp et al - glad to hear my reading suggestion inspired. I agree,
it would convert extremely well as a film. All the elements of a great
fictional adventure are there - capture, torture, escape, chase, deprivation,
the vast indifference of a hostile universe - everything but the fiction.
In the end, the best stories are always the most obscure, and it's somehow
confiding to know that, as in thru-hiking, this tale of tears and triumph
belongs foremost to its author.
My copy is a reprint from 1984, Lyons and Burford publ., with a forward by
Ronald Dowling, the book's transcriptionist. So I guess Steven's copy is
more recent. I wonder if the newer forward isn't too long to post?
