| Summary |
"From Pulitzer Prize finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Ted Conover, a fascinating portrait of a group of Americans living off-grid"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
In May 2017 Conover went to Colorado to explore a rural way of life cheaply, on his own land-- and keeping clear of the mainstream. But along with independence and stunning views can come fierce winds, neighbors with criminal pasts, and minimal government and medical services. This is his story of four years in the often contentious culture of the far margins. In their struggles to survive and get along, he tells us about an America riven by difference, where the edges speak more and more loudly to the mainstream. -- adapted from jacket |
