![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Ruess mystique began to build, initiated by his parents but soon enlarged by readers and critics who, struck by his remarkable connection to the wild, likened him to a fledgling John Muir. When he vanished without a trace in November 1934, Ruess left behind thousands of pages of journals, letters, and poems, as well as more than a hundred watercolor paintings and blockprint engravings. He became friends with photographers Edward Weston and Dorothea Lange, swapped prints with Ansel Adams, took part in a Hopi ceremony, learned to speak Navajo, and was among the first "outsiders" to venture deep into what was then (and to some extent still is) a little-known wilderness. Ruess wandered alone with burros and packhorses through California and the Southwest for five years in the early 1930s, on voyages lasting as long as ten months. More than seventy-five years after his vanishing, Everett Ruess stirs the kind of passion and speculation accorded such legendary doomed American adventurers as Amelia Earhart and Into the Wild's Chris McCandless. Finding Everett Ruess by David Robertsis a 394-page hardcover published by Broadway Books, New York. ![]()

![]() ![]() Perhaps intentionally, the book's structure helps underscore the timelessness of its pieces since the work is arranged by theme rather than chronology. In short, you can expect virtually every entry in the collection, whether it was written in the 1970s or in this century, to feel strikingly relevant today. Morrison turns her penetrating analysis on the mass movement of people across the globe, foreigners and foreignness, and what it means to be "exiled in the place one belongs." She takes on racism - in the media, society, and American literature - and examines how, step by deliberate step, nations move towards "its succubus twin fascism." Devotees should be happy to know that the Nobel laureate also delves into her own artistic process in addition to exploring the work of the painter Romare Bearden, theater director Peter Sellars, and writers ranging from Toni Cade Bambara to Chinua Achebe to Herman Melville. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even though the essays, speeches, and meditations in Toni Morrison's most recent nonfiction collection were written over the course of four decades, The Source of Self-Regard speaks to today's social and political moment as directly as this morning's headlines. ![]() ![]() There is no better person with whom to launch this series of conversations about the power of the written word than Eddie Glaude.
