The Mystery of Mowat,
By
This review is from: Otherwise (Globe and Mail Best Books) (Paperback)
Mowat's masterful adventure-telling skills remain intact. His knack for
poignant detail is undiminished. I could not put the book down, and for days now after finishing, I still cannot stop pondering the mystery of this man, tenacious defender of wildlife, who throughout his life plunged head-first into frightful situations. In the abrupt final few pages of this book Mowat described a wolf den he crawled into, found occupied, and successfullly scrambled out of. What followed was for me a devastating emotional ambush as he disclosed the unnecessary and incomprensible violence he inflicted against the wolf and pups still inside. I no longer knew this man. Perhaps Farley has grown weary of adulation. I suspect that incident is one of his most personally painful. It certainly has been painful for me. I keep probing for a way to feel otherwise. |
