Cheryl Strayed is the author of "Wild, From
Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" (now a movie starring
Reese Witherspoon). Nabokv-Listers will immediately recognize the
story told to Strayed by heavily tattooed biker type she meets
while hitchhiking back to the Trail. (If the .jpg photo of the
page in the book is not readable, you can find the excerpt on my
blog. http://montclairsoci.blogspot.com/2014/12/whose-anecdote-is-this-anyway.html.)
One of the blurbs on the book jacket says, "Strayed is a . . .
deceptively elegant writer."
