"If Tom Montgomery Fate has not found the secret formula for the
deliberate, balanced life, he is a chief disciple of the
search.""--Chicago Tribune"
" "
Try to imagine Thoreau married, with a job, three kids, and a
minivan. This is the sensibility--serious yet irreverent--that
suffuses "Cabin Fever, " as the author seeks to apply the
hermit-philosopher's insights to a busy modern life. Tom Montgomery
Fate lives in a Chicago suburb, where he is a husband, father,
professor, and active member of his community. He also lives in a
cabin built with the help of friends in the Michigan woods, where
he walks by the river, chops wood, and reads Thoreau by
candlelight. Fate seeks a more attentive, deliberate way of seeing
the world and our place in it, not only in the woods but also in
the context of our relationships and society. In his search for "a
more deliberate life" amid a high-tech, material world, Fate
invites readers into an interrogation of their own lives, and into
a new kind of vision: the possibility of enough in a culture of
more.
