These five essays represent individual pieces from Jon Krakauer’s career as an adventure journalist, released separately as digital editions in 2018. After the Fall, Gates of the Arctic, Living Under the Volcano, Loving Them to Death, and Mark Foo’s Last Ride each tackle a different aspect of risk and wilderness.
The subjects range from big-wave surfing (Mark Foo’s Last Ride) to national park management (Loving Them to Death) to volcanic hazards (Living Under the Volcano). These are the kind of magazine-length pieces that built Krakauer’s reputation before Into the Wild, and they show his range as a reporter who is equally at home on a mountain face or investigating a policy question.
