Produktinformationen "Securing the Shadows"
A fearless quest to understand what we risk when we heed the call of the wild."Stevenson plays his stories like a rope taut with the weight of his character's lives. You sense every subtle slackening and sudden pull. Like any good climb, his narratives become mysterious, ghostly. Out of solid rock comes magic."--CRAIG CHILDS, The Wild DarkIn his memoir-in-essays, David Stevenson considers the risks and rewards of a life climbing mountains in light of the mysterious drowning of his adventurous twenty-two-year-old son in the Alaskan backcountry. Through an eclectic range of styles and recounting adventures across the American West, Stevenson examines photographs, literature, and memory as he searches for meaning in the relentless pursuit of adrenaline and the devastation of loss. At once a remembrance and a query, this indelible chronicle grapples with the essence of mortality, in other words, what makes us human.
