Words from a Wild Place is travel writing as it should be: Gray carries us along in easy companionship as his extraordinary adventure unfolds. Astonishingly fresh and direct, the book is witness to the magical power of the rainforest and a tribute to the Dayak people who call it home. He did not know it at the time, but Gray’s account and his observations now serve as a powerful epitaph for a world that would soon be lost forever. (Biography/Travel)
