Review

"[A] wickedly well-written and finally pain-filled biography...."

"THE LAST AMERICAN MAN is a vigorous, engaging book...."

"...Gilbert delivers a first-rate work of reportage."

"Gilbert has a jaunty, breathless style, and she paints a complicated portrait of American maleness that is as original as it is surprising."

"[THE LAST AMERICAN MAN] is a tremendously witty, insightful, and disturbing portrait of a contemporary mountain man and the society that needs such heroes....With affection, humour and respect, Gilbert reveals the ultimate authoritarianism of this myth [of the American frontier] and the man that it made."

Publisher's note

The author of Pilgrims moves from short fiction to nonfiction, offering a cultural examination of the modern American male, exploring the meaning of manhood in all of its contradictions, meaning, and challenges. Reprint.

Annotation

This portrait, which grew from a profile published in GQ, studies the life of mountain-man Eustace Conway, who upon running away from his family, pursued a survivalist lifestyle in the North Carolina woods--and flourished. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
