The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world.

In his journal, he captured the color, spirit, and perspective of his era, as well as the exuberant confidence that was the mark of his time.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed.

She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

He wasn’t born into greatness; he clawed his way through the grime of dish pits and the drudgery of New York kitchens until his 2000 memoir, Kitchen Confidential, dropped like a Molotov cocktail in the sanitized world of Food Network fluff. Overnight, the culinary world had its anti-hero—a guy who’d...
