Reviews
"A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival." -- The Wall Street Journal "Astonishing. . . . 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. 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 "[A] fascinating story. . . . 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 "[An] 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. 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. . . . Through Finkel, Knight is able to speak up with his own voice at last." -- Paste "[Knight's] 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. . . . A beautifully rendered, carefully researched story." -- PopMatters "Riveting. . . . 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 . . . Will leave readers thinking deeply about modern society, the search for meaning, and the impact of solitude. 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. . . . [Knight's] tale becomes universal thanks to the expert care of Finkel's writing. . . The Stranger in the Woods is, ultimately, a meditation on the pains of social obligation and the longing toward retreat that resides in us all." --Michael Harris, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Michael Finkel has done something magical with this profound book . . . [His] investigation runs deep, summoning . . . the human history of our own attempts to find meaning in a noisy world." --Michael Paterniti, author of Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brain "Chris Knight is an American original . . . I burned through this haunting tale in one rapt sitting." --John Vaillant, author of The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed, "A story that takes the two primary human relationships--to nature and to one another--and deftly upends our assumptions about both. 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 "An absorbing exploration of solitude and man's eroding relationship with the natural world. Though the 'stranger' in the title is Knight, one closes the book with the sense that Knight, like all seers, is the only sane person in a world gone insane--that modern civilization has made us strangers to ourselves." --Nathaniel Rich, The Atlantic "Campfire-friendly and thermos-ready, easily drained in one warm, rummy slug... Raises a variety of profound questions--about the role of solitude, about the value of suffering, about the diversity of human needs." --Jennifer Senior, The New York Times "Michael Finkel has done something magical with this profound book... [His] investigation runs deep, summoning...the human history of our own attempts to find meaning in a noisy world." --Michael Paterniti "Chris Knight is an American original... I burned through this haunting tale in one rapt sitting." --John Vaillant

Synopsis
A National Geographic Best Book of the Year National Bestseller Many people dream of escaping modern life. Most will never act on it--but in 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight did just that when he left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not have a conversation with another person for the next twenty-seven years. Drawing on extensive interviews with Knight himself, journalist Michael Finkel shows how Knight lived in a tent in a secluded encampment, developing ingenious ways to store provisions and stave off frostbite during the winters. A former alarm technician, he stealthily broke into nearby cottages for food, books, and supplies, taking only what he needed but sowing unease in a community plagued by his mysterious burglaries. Since returning to the world, he has faced unique challenges--and compelled us to reexamine our assumptions about what makes a good life. By turns riveting and thought-provoking, The Stranger in the Woods gives us a deeply moving portrait of a man determined to live his own way., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality--not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. "A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival." -- The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life--why did he leave? what did he learn?--as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality--not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own.
