DESCRIPTION:
"Even Wild Women Get the Blues" according to Mary Ellen. You MUST read this book! Paul Doyle has written a fantastic book filled with adventure, humor and wit. He is very funny as he pokes fun at the dogma of political, spiritual and environmental correctness while he effectively underlines the values that dogma intended to support. He clearly loves the Pacific Northwest rainforest he describes in fine detail. No matter if you have been there or not you will see it in it's glory and feel the love and respect he has for the natural world. I loved Nioka. I wanted to be Nioka. And I must admit, I have always hoped that Bigfoot really exists and continues to elude capture.. GRM K said Best book ever. Go out and buy it from Amazon.com. It's usually less than a dollar. It's about a woman who decides to take a break from modern society and relationships in order to clear her head and simplify her life. She takes off and "goes native" in the forest. The more time she spends there, the less need she has for human contact, materials, or even sustenance. There are other huge eco-issues and feminism statements repeated. Nioka meets Bigfoot :) and DB Cooper (see criminal airplane hijacker from 1971). Through the first half of the book, we see the woman as she is in the forest. Periodically, we digress a little in order to . "Very much like a Tom Robbins novel" according to Mikeysdreamgal. Very much like a Tom Robbins novel. I love the writing style of Tom Robbins this novel is very much like that. I also had to wonder if I know him because Nioka and I had a somewhat parallel life ;-). Old hippies , Earth Mother, living in the woods of the great NW. No Nukes, protests and zen.I think I will be waiting for the sequel and she really doesn't meet a Squatch in this one. Get the sequel out Paul! There is no Squatch porn in this sweet little story about a girl /woman who couldn't take the crazy human society. You're singing my song Paul!
A young woman flees civilization to live alone in the rain forest. She escapes hunters, encounters Bigfoot, looks for Hoh River Blue, solves a mystery and comes face to face with the crocodile god of her own subconscious. Men form expeditions to find and capture her. People catch sight of her and a myth develops about the wild woman of the woods. But she retreats deeper into the forest, builds a tree house and, alone in the wilderness, discovers the secret of the silence.
