Girl in the Woods is Aspen Matis's exhilarating true-life adventure of hiking from Mexico to Canada—a coming of age story, a survival story, and a triumphant story of overcoming emotional devastation. Dealing with a problem that has sadly become all too common on college campuses around the country, she stumbled through her first semester—a challenging time made even harder by the coldness of her college's "conflict mediation" process. “A lovely tribute to the healing power of wilderness.” (Nicholas Kristof, winner of the Pulitzer Prize). It becomes a new organ—of doubt, questioning—that remakes both the body and the mind.” (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone rock critic and New York Times bestselling author). This book will astonish you.” (Shelly Oria, author of New York 1, Tel Aviv 0). Girl in the Woods teaches us that writing is a way to heal, empower ourselves, and turn our worst experiences into beautiful art.” (Kenan Trebincevic, author of The Bosnia List).

Unsure what to make of this confession, Talese traveled to Colorado where he met the man—Gerald Foos—verified his story in person, and read some of his extensive journals, a secret record of America’s changing social and sexual mores. Praise for The Voyeur’s Motel : Named a Best Book of the Year by the Daily Mail (Event Critics’ Selection). The Voyeur is so fascinating a character―insightful, observant and amoral―that the reader becomes caught up in his story.” ― Providence Journal. Motel delves deeply into the taboo world with no holds barred and no excuses . The type of unflinching New Journalism that Talese helped found three decades ago.” ― Jackson Clarion Ledger. “Pioneering reporter Gay Talese tells the ultimate surveillance story in The Voyeur’s Motel . Talese―a master of elegant, understated prose―uses an objective reportorial style to tell the voyeur’s story, and it’s the right approach for a narrative that requires no extra spice . “Foos [is revealed] as a singularly pervy, grandiose, and strangely eloquent weirdo who would be irresistible to any writer, let alone one as talented, patient, and thoughtful as Talese . Those seeking a uniquely discomfiting journey couldn’t find a better pair of reprobates with whom to cast their lot.” ― Booklist. Not your typical beach book, perhaps, but you may want to read this compulsive page-turner―which raises all sorts of fascinating journalistic, moral and legal issues―under cover of an umbrella.” ― Barnes & Noble Review. “Talese is a master at finding and reporting intimate matters in a clean, fine prose style so that the pages fly by. Thus the odd subject of Talese’s book is transparently manifest, without a biased or judgmental eye, all the better to reveal what Foos has done.” ― Psychodynamic Psychiatry. Foos’s notes offer a long-term glimpse into the sex lives of Americans.” ― Maclean’s (Canada). It might make you lose your bearings, but at the same time it’s completely mesmerising, and often darkly funny, too.” ― Daily Mail (UK) (Event Critics’ Best Books of the Year). It is by turns fascinating and illuminating, very creepy and very funny, and will live in my memory long after many more doggedly accurate works have vanished into thin air.” ― Mail on Sunday (UK). Short and brisk, it tells a compellingly sordid story, and Foos is one fascinating dude .
