Lighting Out by Daniel Duane is a coming-of-age memoir, first and foremost.
\nBut it’s also about the Yosemite climbing lifestyle in the early 1990s and the
\nauthor’s effort to immerse himself in that dirtbag world, while figuring out
\nwhat to do with his life. It beautifully evokes a specific time and place, as
\nwell as captures that post-college searching and desire for adventure and
\nromance that resonates for so many.<\/p>\n
From the Grateful Dead to an awkward
\ntumble into a relationship, and from California surf towns to the sheer wall
\nof El Cap, Duane’s story meanders through loosely linked events and
\nobservations that, taken together, convey a tangible sense of freedom and the
\nsearch for fulfilment.<\/p>\n
Duane climbed actively in the Yosemite Valley from 1987 to 1992, then went on
\nto get a Ph.D. in American Literature at UC Santa Cruz. Lighting Out was his
\nfirst book, published two years before his seminal cult-favourite, Caught
\nInside: A Surfer’s Year on the Calfiornia Coast.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
