The Last American Man

For more than twenty years, Eustace Conway has made his home in the Appalachian Mountains where he lives off the land - making fire with sticks and wearing the skins of animals he's trapped for food. In sharing Conway's fascinating true life story, acclaimed novelist and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert delivers an unforgettable adventure story about a truly epic, but thoroughly modern, American hero. As she thoughtfully examines Conway and all he embodies, the contemporary American male comes alive in all his conflicting elements of inventiveness, narcissism, and intimacy.
