[pct-l] Literary journals

[GARY MCVAY]

You might read Robert's (go-BIG) journal in the PCTA journals. I found it very interesting.  Slo_Eight

  Part of what sustains me on some saturday or sunday mornings during the 
  winter is reading hiker journals.  However, I seem to be finding mostly 
  travelogues, who was where when kinds of writing.  I'm looking for 
  literary gems that not only offer descriptions of the trail, but the 
  internal workings of the thru-hiker.  Chris Willett's journals are an 
  example, and some of Mag's stuff.  Cindy Ross' books are long journals.  
  My major critique of Adam's movie about his trip on the CDT, a movie I 
  really enjoyed, is that there was only one segment in which some drama 
  came through.  What I liked about "The Walk" was Yogi's minute at the 
  end of the movie. 

  I welcome suggestions of journals to read that explore the human 
  condition as part of the thru-hiking experience. 

  Jeff, just Jeff...
