Fiction
Deliverance
Four men take canoes down a river that's about to be dammed. The wilderness they enter doesn't care about their suburban assumptions. Dickey writes landscape like character—beautiful and indifferent and dangerous. The tension builds like pressure behind a weakening dam. This finds readers who understand that nature stories are always really about civilization. People who want their adventure tales to examine what adventure costs. The kind of book that stays with you like a scar.
