Items related to The Way Out: A True Story of Survival
Craig Childs is lost. In a labyrinth of canyons in the American Southwest where virtually nothing else is alive - barely any vegetation, few signs of wildlife, and scant traces of any human precursors - Childs and his friend Dirk undertake a fortnight's journey. With as much food and gear as they can carry, and little else but their wiles to help them traverse the inhospitable, unmappable terrain, the two men assume the life-or-death challenge of exploring this land - and of then finding a way out.
Equally gripping as their adventure in the wild is the parallel story, told in flashback, of what has propelled the two men into these extreme circumstances. In scenes that crackle with tension and suspense - recollections of barroom brawls, high-speed car chases, and reckless feats of risk-taking - we discover the surprising legacy of violence that each man is escaping.

Review:
For THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE OF WATER and SOUL OF NOWHERE: 'Utterly memorable and fantastic... certainly no reader will ever see the desert in the same way again' - Washington Post 'Childs's own feats of asceticism are nothing if not awe- inspiring: he's a modern-day desert father' - New York Times Book Review
