Industry Reviews
"...Gilbert delivers a first-rate work of reportage."
Kirkus Reviews (03/01/2002)
"Gilbert has a jaunty, breathless style, and she paints a complicated portrait of American maleness that is as original as it is surprising."
Publishers Weekly (04/22/2002)
"[A] wickedly well-written and finally pain-filled biography...."
New York Times Book Review - James Gorman (06/02/2002)
"THE LAST AMERICAN MAN is a vigorous, engaging book...."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (06/03/2002)
"[THE LAST AMERICAN MAN] is a tremendously witty, insightful, and disturbing portrait of a contemporary mountain man and the society that needs such heroes....With affection, humour and respect, Gilbert reveals the ultimate authoritarianism of this myth [of the American frontier] and the man that it made."
