The McCandless Reporting Challenge

The McCandless book, it's a short book. It's the shortest book I've ever written. And there was stuff that was just unknowable about him. There was periods where he went blank for a while. He did initially burn all his money and his real ID cards. But you know, when he had sometimes used them to get library cards or things like that they were no longer valid. So then he was saving his money for his Alaska trip. The story of Chris McCandless is told in an article by David Bianculli who spent months trying to find him.
