tale becomes universal thanks to the expert care of Finkel’s writing.
Finkel is a skilled storyteller.” -Portland Press Herald (Maine) “I was drawn through these pages in a single sitting-their pull is true and magnetic. Will leave readers thinking deeply about modern society, the search for meaning, and the impact of solitude. A stunning look inside at the life and inner thoughts of one of our era’s most confounding characters.” -Bangor Daily News “Thought-provoking and enduring. A beautifully rendered, carefully researched story.” -PopMatters “Riveting. Through Finkel, Knight is able to speak up with his own voice at last.” -Paste “ story will speak to anyone who has ever walked through the wilderness and considered, even for a moment, whether ever to leave.” -Field & Stream “Moving and haunting. This was a breathtaking book to read and many weeks later I am still thinking about the implications for our society and-by extension-for my own life.” -Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging “As strong as Finkel’s storytelling instincts and prose are, his greatest feat in writing The Stranger in the Woods is the journalistic diligence and humanity he brought to Knight. Finkel manages to pry powerful words from the man who may hold the world title for silent retreat.” -San Francisco Chronicle“Reveals, in vivid detail, how Christopher Knight escaped society more completely than most anybody else in human history.” -Outside “ intriguing account of Knight’s capture and confessions.” -USA Today “A story that takes the two primary human relationships-to nature and to one another-and deftly upends our assumptions about both.
It also raises a variety of profound questions-about the role of solitude, about the value of suffering, about the diversity of human needs.” -The New York Times “ fascinating story. An absorbing exploration of solitude and man’s eroding relationship with the natural world.” -The Atlantic “Campfire-friendly and thermos-ready, easily drained in one warm, rummy slug.
“A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” -The Wall Street Journal“Astonishing.
