Book Review: Naked: Writers Uncover the Way We Live on Earth, edited by Susan Zakin

Saturday May 1, 2004
Naked brings together thirty-one pieces by writers who examine and challenge the way people live with our environment. Edward Abbey's newly published correspondence rants against passive nonresistance. Stacey Richter mines the questionable legacy of John James Audubon, while erudite wanderer Bruce Chatwin makes a case for nomadism. Lydia Millet rails against "environmental pornography" and T. C. Boyle suggests we are all wild at heart, and not particularly well-groomed.

Read the review of Naked by Susan Zakin.
