In addition to observing the wildlife of his fellow citizens, he also wanted to rediscover his country by returning to nature. So he courageously tackled the Appalachian Trail, a path that winds through the mountains for 3,500 kilometers, from Maine to Georgia. As a companion in landscapes far more tormented than his native Iowa, Bill chose his old school friend, Stephen Katz, whom he introduced to us in My Fabulous Childhood in America in the 1950s (Payot, 2009).
The problem is, Katz loves nothing more than watching the X-Files in motels. The other problem is that when walking in the woods you risk, as in the series, coming across strange creatures who don't have the author's sense of humor – bears or, worse, hikers, not to mention the little toxic plants that make you greener than a Martian. Bryson-style travel literature has the immense advantage of not putting the reader to sleep along the way.
