Opis

In 2005 J.C. Lupine embarked on a summer long trip through Yellowstone, living out of a dilapidated van. She had no plans, only to bum around the park, watch the animals and tourists, and see what happened. The result is a philosophical masterpiece, filled with observations on myth, domestication (of animals and humans), the importance of metaphor, and the nature of time. Yellowstoned gives us a view of the park from an angle you've never seen before. The wildness inherent in the lawns at Mammoth Hot Springs, or the parking lot at Norris at midnight, are given equal consideration as the wildflower meadows or the view from Mt. Washburn. In this world, ravens teach their fledgelings about the purpose of humanity, and a cougar has a home decorating scheme that would make Martha Stewart shiver. The author's watercolor drawings bring her eye for detail to life.
