Hi Michael. I just finished your book The Stranger in the Woods. It was an amazing story, about how one can live with nature. There was some interesting reading how one does not need the technology that many others in society depend on. Have you been able to keep in contact with Christopher?
Michael Finkel
Thank you for the very kind words, Keri. Mr. Knight and I are no longer in touch. I would welcome a letter from him any time, but I will not disturb him any more. I will also be forever grateful to Chris for sharing his story with me, and for tolerating all of my visits and my questions.

Have you ever heard of a book called "Torment in the Knobs", published in 1976? It's also a true story (though written nearly 90 years after the fact) of a man abandoning modern life to live in the woods. It's extremely obscure and wasn't published far beyond East Tennessee, but upon reading a synopsis of "The Stranger in the Woods" it was the first place my mind went.
