The Hiking Book From Hell - Paperback

by Are Kalvø (Author), Lucy Moffatt (Translator)

• Entertaining adventure writing: the author is a comedian and his writing is smart and funny.
• The hilarious absurdity of the things we do to connect to nature: like climbing a mountain in the pouring rain or buying ridiculously expensive gear just to take a walk.
• Broad appeal: For fans of Bill Bryson and Karl Pilkington, as well as followers of the wildly popular instagram turned book, Subpar Parks.
• One of Scandinavia's biggest comedians: Kalv is hugely popular in Scandinavia and his humor translates to a North American audience.
• Relatable writing about middle-age: with humor and specificity, Kalvo describes that all-too-familiar process of entering your forties and realizing your friends' tastes and hobbies have changed (and yours may have too).
