For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is destined to become a modern classic of travel literature.
BILL BRYSON's bestselling books include "A Walk in the Woods," "I'm a Stranger Here Myself," "In a Sunburned Country," "A Short History of Nearly Everything" (which earned him the 2004 Aventis Prize), "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid," and "At Home." He lives in England with his wife.
