"A Man Made Cold by the Universe" by Sherry Simpson

We do talk about Christopher McCandless in Alaska We talk about him a lot. We can't help ourselves. Mostly the discussion is in response to the book, and mostly it is not favorable because of the way McCandless stars as a romantic hero. Krakauer described McCandless as searching for something beyond his privileged but disappointing middle-class existence. "It would be easy to stereotype
Christopher McCandless as another boy who felt too much, a loopy young man who read too many book and lacked even a modicum of common sense," Krakauer wrote. "But the stereotype isn't a good fit. McCandless wasn't some feckless slacker, adrift and confused, racked by existential despair. To the
contrary: His life hummed with meaning and purpose. But the meaning he wrested from existence lay
beyond the comfortable path: McCandless distrusted the value of things that came easily. He demanded much of himself-more, in the end, than he could deliver."
