- Peter Heller is a longtime contributor to NPR, a contributing editor at Outside Magazine and Men's Journal, and a frequent contributor to Businessweek. He is an award winning adventure writer and the author of four books of literary nonfiction. He lives in Denver. Heller was born and raised in New York. He attended high school in Vermont and Dartmouth College in New Hampshire where he became an outdoorsman and whitewater kayaker. He traveled the world as an expedition kayaker, writing about challenging descents in the Pamirs, the Tien Shan mountains, the Caucuses, Central America and Peru.At the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where he received an MFA in fiction and poetry, he won a Michener fellowship for his epic poem "The Psalms of Malvine." He has worked as a dishwasher, construction worker, logger, offshore fisherman, kayak instructor, river guide, and world class pizza deliverer. Some of these stories can be found in Set Free in China, Sojourns on the Edge. In the winter of 2002 he joined, on the ground team, the most ambitious whitewater expedition in history as it made its way through the treacherous Tsangpo Gorge in Eastern Tibet. He chronicled what has been called The Last Great Adventure Prize for Outside, and in his book Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet's Tsangpo River.

Di solito non è il modo migliore per trovare un buon testo, ma stavolta ci ho azzeccato.
L'origine della trama è un'apocalisse mondiale originata da un virus, cosa attualissima oggi.
Ma lo svilupparsi della trama esce dalla fiction e va dritto al nostro cuore, attraverso le vicende dei protagonisti.
Scritto con una prosa singolare che all'inizio sconcerta ma che poi si rivela piacevolissima.
Ottima la traduzione.
Lettura indispensabile in tempo di pandemia!… (altro)
