The Clam Lake Papers: A Winter in the North Woods: Introducing the Metaphorical Imperative and Kindred Matters: With a Prologue and Epilogue

It is a fine line between awe and naivete. Here the anonymous writer exposes his inner thoughts and observations without reservation. A wonderful look at all he could observe and experience without the distraction of other people. He explores many topics with a literary if not a philosophical bent. Who is this secret sharer? A mystery to be resolved at one level, since as you read you learn much about him--and also you learn about yourself, your perspective, and what motivates you. I have been to Clam Lake. I was brought there by my oldest brother who interned at the Natural Resources Camp from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The site is deserted now. The impression left on those who have been there, spent some time there, is indelible. You should visit Clam Lake, too. Spend some time there.
