Take the Path of Most Resistance by David Hiscoe
Some of Hiscoe's memories of his 1973 hike from Maine to Georgia are funny, some are wistful and romantic, and some unsettling. Taken together, they give a vivid picture of what the iconic Appalachian Trail adventure was like back when the country was falling apart and hiking alone down the mountainous spine of the United States was a most strange thing to do.But this book is more than a simple wilderness tale from the Nixon era. Through a long career in higher education and corporate life, Hiscoe's memories kept sneaking back into his consciousness midway through meetings and PowerPoints. He uses these flashbacks to draw consistently fascinating and hilariously cock-eyed parallels between what he saw in the woods and what he found in the offices and classrooms of America. No one else has ever made a bad case of backwoods giardia so illuminating. -David G. Allen, Head of the English Department, The Citadel Sometimes painful, at times euphoric and hilarious, always awash in beauty, Hiscoe's Alice-in-Wonderland world creates an inspiring read for all walkers on the path to anywhere. -Laura Waterman, author of Losing the Garden: The Story of a Marriage Emerging from a burgeoning pile of mediocre AT memoirs, Hiscoe's story of his 1973 trek is that 'something different' readers long for. Gritty, hilarious, poignant, and authentic. Don't pass this up. -Richard Judy, author of Thru: An Appalachian Trail Love Story| SKU | Unavailable |
