Remote
Oregon State University (Verlag)
978-0-87071-000-1 (ISBN)
When DJ Lee's friend and mentor disappears in the vast Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho and Montana, she travels there to seek answers. The disappearance unexpectedly brings to an end Lee's fifteen-year quest to uncover the buried history of her grandparents in this remote wilderness. Lee doesn't find all the answers but comes away with a penetrating memoir that weaves the present-day narrative with past trips, family secrets, and wilderness history. Through wild animal encounters, near-fatal river crossings, bush plane flights in dense fog, raging forest fires, and strange characters who have come to the wilderness to seek or hide, she learns how to survive.
DJ Lee is Regents Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at Washington State University, with a PhD from the University of Arizona and an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. Her creative work includes over twenty-five nonfiction essays in Narrative, the Montreal Review, Superstition Review, Terrain, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and TINGE, among other magazines and anthologies, where they have received Pushcart Special Mentions and been finalists for literary prizes. She has published eight books on literature, history, and the environment, most recently the 2017 collection The Land Speaks: New Voices at the Intersection of Oral and Environmental History for Oxford University Press. Lee is the Director of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project, funded by a 4-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and she is currently a scholar-fellow at the Black Earth Institute.
