The talented arts writer (and fiction and nonfiction writer)
Wallace Baine interviewed me recently about my nonfiction book-in-progress for Henry Holt & Co. I've been keeping mum about a lot of this, and trying, (to quote a former roommate), "not to let the cat out of the bottle" so it was fun to talk about this with him.
Here is the story. This is not a camping guidebook -- although I will share some ideas and suggestions -- but an affectionate look into camping's strange and beguiling past.

Great article. And I like the photo.
Thank you, Anonymous. Much appreciated (and since you wrote in and left a comment, I am pretty sure I know who this is!)
Hi Dan, just wanted to say how much I liked TCE. I read it and "Wild" at the same time two years ago, and as to which was better, called it a tie. Whenever I see someone reading "Wild", I stop them and mention your book. - Nick in SF
dear Nick in SF -- sorry it took a little while to respond, and thank you very much for this. And I also want to thank you for spreading the word -- I appreciate that very much. Funny you should mention reading The Cactus Eaters and Wild around the same period of time; about a month ago, I dropped in on a class about place and memoir writing, and both books were on the syllabus (so it seems that quite a few people are reading them in juxtaposition). All best wishes,
Dan White
