When the storm finally passed, five of them would be dead, and the sixth so horribly frostbitten that his right hand would have to be amputated. The following morning he learned that six of his fellow climbers hadn't made it back to their camp and were in a desperate struggle for their lives. Six hours later and 3,000 feet lower, in 70-knot winds and blinding snow, Krakauer collapsed in his tent, freezing, hallucinating from exhaustion and hypoxia, but safe. No one had noticed that the sky had begun to fill with clouds. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top.

So how did such a relatively minor figure become the recipient of such monumental reams of hagiography? The answer is that like other "iconic" figures - Pollock, Lennon, Kerouac - so much hip faith was invested in his countercultural status that the market could not stand an overhaul: so much was riding on the assumed verities that to take away the myth became at some point unthinkable. ![]() But in the quarter of a century since that clammy apotheosis, Thompson has increasingly traded on his totemic reputation. ![]() Watergate was like something this Thompson dreamt into existence, coming down one morning from a barking LSD high. There is one admittedly self-contained work - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, not so much his Götterdämmerung as his Huckleberry Finn - and two valuable collections of on-the-hoof journalism, in which Thompson combines moral seriousness with delirious invective, amphetamine urgency and trickster humour. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Airhead runaway![]() In Runaway, the dramatic conclusion to the bestselling and acclaimed Airhead novels by Meg Cabot, Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from work, from her family, from her friends, from herself.
