Absolutely. Here's a wonderful story about the naive, hopeful transcendentalist failing in the modern world. How do we feel about that? Do we support him? Chastise him? Maybe both?

Who knows, because Krakauer spends a gee dee third of the book talking about his own adventure climbing a mountain, which feels very removed tonally from McCandless' adventure. I love Chris' story and it had a very real impact on me as a youngin myself, and I think it was presented to the public in a lackluster, inflammatory way.

Also, while im on the topic, which McCandless had a better adventure? Pic related
