Many people dream of escaping modern life, but most will never act on it. This is the remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality–not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own.
In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life–why did he leave? what did he learn?–as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded.

A boring story about a jackass who can only support his obviously ridiculous lifestyle by stealing from private cabins and children’s camps. He might have been worth writing about if he moved to the wilderness and actually learned to live by his wits without needing anything from ‘civilization’.

I was brought here by an episode of the podcast “Profiles in Eccentricity” and haven’t read the book but upon hearing the title came straight here. Pleased as punch to find it!
In response to pbcaddy: If you can’t appreciate weirdos that wander far from the center of the herd… you’re part of the problem.
