Summary
The author abandoned his career as a journalist, left his office in Manhattan, and walked to Vermont, where he was retiring. A former war correspondent, he took it all in stride (as it were), including blisters, overnights in the woods, perilous highways, and the unsettling awareness that, at his age, he was ignored by most of the people he runs into. And when it was over, he wrote about the experience in this memoir.
