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, scant trace of any human
precursors in this landscape - 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 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. As a
chronicle of adventure, as emotionally-charged human drama, as
confessional memoir, THE WAY OUT is a transcendent book, a work
destined to earn a lasting place in the literature of extremes.
