Through works of fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, this energetic anthology addresses issues that concern us today: genetic research, globalization, technology, urban alienation, suburban sprawl, immigration, animal rights, colonialism, wilderness preservation, and much more. Naked is no gentle ode to the natural world. With politically charged rants, outrageous personal journeys, and fiction that shocks and challenges, Naked updates the passionate environmentalism of Edward Abbey and his generation. Contributors include T. C. Boyle, Klaus Kinski, Charles Bowden, A. L. Kennedy, Bruce Chatwin, and many others.

Brilliant! Catchs you off guard ...,
By BoulderPoet (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked: Writers Uncover the Way We Live on Earth (Paperback)
and then sticks the knife in. Read about the garbage, the boredom, the stepping down from the great heights and breathing the air that everyone breathes. This is the environment we all live in every day. Not the Ansel Adams, not the Grand Canyon, but the garbage in the alley, the dirty fingernails and the waiting for the bus.
This is a book that will make you excited, angry and appalled; so much so that you might actually go out and do something about it. Highly recommended!
