All the Alaskans who Krakauer talked too said the kid was a complete dumbass and he was all baffled and kinda indignant about it in the book, which was funny.

I really love Krakauer's writing but sometimes he has these weird moments where you can tell he wants something to mean something that it really, really doesn't mean. Like Into the Wild really wants to make McCandless into someone meaningful despite all accounts indicating he was a dumb rebellious pseudo-intellectual rich kid who probably had an undiagnosed mental disorder and who died doing because of doing something profoundly, impulsively stupid in the woods.

I'm a loving sheltered upper middle class kid with several diagnosed mental disorders and if I did what McCandless did I'd hope my obituary called me a loving dumbass instead of making me out to be some tortured wanderer. No, I did something really, basically stupid and I died from it.

Oscar Wild posted:Krakauer never said he was a tortured wanderer. Other retards hung that label on him. Krakauer wasn't buying the moody wanderer poo poo, which is why the book had that long aside about Krakauer nearly dying in a cave on Denali smoking Klondike Thunderfuck It's been a long time since I read it and TBH I was thinking of one specific part where Krakauer gets a bit huffy that all the Alaskans just called the kid full stop stupid.
