In this powerful debut story collection, veteran travel writer and climber
\nDaniel Arnold brings to life the men and women–complete with their scars and
\ndark corners–whose lives are defined by the mountains they climb.<\/p>\n
The characters who populate Snowblind are obsessed with the jagged beauty and
\ndriven by the physical risks of dangerous summits. Their climbs end not on
\nheights, but in the psychological aftermath, when their compulsions crash back
\ninto reality.<\/p>\n
Deep in Alaska, a fanatic soloist seeks her way back through the wilderness
\nwhen her pilot fails to pick her up after a triumphant climb. In a climbers‘
\nhostel in Argentina, a young mountaineer tries to explain abandoning his
\nfallen partner in a blizzard on Aconcagua. On K2, an anarchist fails to fit in
\non a modern Himalayan expedition–with disastrous results.<\/p>\n
Tension fills Arnold’s stories, both from the finely crafted, sweaty-palmed
\ndrama of the climbs he imagines, and also from the cracks that open in each of
\nhis characters‘ psyches. Snowblind is a dose of old world adventure writing
\nmade modern for a new generation fascinated by the mystique of climbing. For
\nboth serious climbers and those who may never tie onto a rope the thrill of
\nthese stories, complete with triumphs and tragedies, makes for an incredible
\nvicarious experience.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
