The Savage Landscape, Cal Flyn
Flyn’s 2021 book, Islands of Abandonment, was a wonderfully written, compelling exploration of the planet’s abandoned spaces, those previously human-occupied landscapes—exclusion zones, slag heaps, DMZs—allowed, by design or by necessity, to return to a state of nature. Her latest has her traveling to the world’s wildest spaces in an exploration of humanity’s often fraught (and definitely complex) relationship to what we call wilderness, from the deepest, darkest forests to the most forbidding mountaintops.
