A Walk in the Woods
New York: Broadway, 1998. Hardcover. 8vo., 288 pp. An autobiographical work chronicling the author's attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail during the spring and summer of 1996. For much of his journey, Bryson was accompanied by his friend Matt Angerer [pseudonymously called 'Stephen Katz' in the book], who had previously appeared in Bryson's 1991 book 'Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe.' Written in a comic style, the book mixes accounts of Bryson's walk with broader discussions about the Trail's history, and the sociology, ecology, conservation status and people of the places Bryson walked through. The book is also the subject of the 2015 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Ken Kwapis and starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson. Fine in Fine dust jacket.
