John William Barry has
inherited the pedigree--and wealth--of two of Seattle's elite families;
Neil Countryman is blue-collar Irish. Nevertheless, when the two boys
meet in 1972 at age sixteen, they're brought together by what they have
in common: a fierce intensity and a love of the outdoors that takes
them, together and often, into Washington's remote backcountry, where
they must rely on their wits--and each other--to survive.
Soon after
graduating from college, Neil sets out on a path that will lead him
toward a life as a devoted schoolteacher and family man. But John
William makes a radically different choice, dropping out of college and
moving deep into the woods, convinced that it is the only way to live
without hypocrisy. When John William enlists Neil to help him disappear
completely, Neil finds himself drawn into a web of secrets and often
agonizing responsibility, deceit, and tragedy--one that will finally
break open with a wholly unexpected, life-altering revelation.
Riveting,
deeply humane, "The Other" is David Guterson's most brilliant and
provocative novel to date. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
