Exhaustion was setting in. Work had continued on like this for a month straight with no breaks. Slowly, the tossing around on the bed stopped. She started to nod off. The raised cot felt more comfortable now. She slept until early morning, when the nightmare began again. This time it was much more unsettling. Blackness overcame her. She was now experiencing the outer limits of her mind, as she penetrated through the freezing icy cold winds, entering a dark log cabin, and encountering someone called the Female Suffrage.

With a new introduction on Werner Herzog’s film entitled The Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell, self-styled “bear whisperer” dared to live among the grizzlies, seeking to overturn the perception of them as dangerously aggressive animals. When he and his girlfriend were mauled, it created a media sensation. In The Grizzly Maze, Nick Jans, a seasoned outdoor writer with a quarter century of experience writing about Alaska and bears, traces Treadwell’s rise from unknown waiter in California to celebrity, providing a moving portrait of the man whose controversial ideas and behavior earned him the scorn of hunters, the adoration of animal lovers and the skepticism of naturalists. “Intensely imagistic, artfully controlled prose . . . behind the building tension of Treadwell’s path to oblivion, a stunning landscape looms.”—Newsday
