“I understand now, in a way I never did before, the colossal scale of the world,” claims Bill Bryson in his 1997 autobiographical novel A Walk in the Woods, where he recounts his journey through the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. In every way, A Walk in the Woods is just as adventurous and comical as any other self-discovery novel. However, the purpose behind it extends far beyond entertaining readers with stories of the impulsive, Little Debbies loving Stephen Katz. Eloquently woven in are shocking exposés about wildlife extinction, the National Park Service funding, human-environment interaction, and the speed at which the United States changes.

However, despite critics’ claims that he used modern transportation and lodging and did not complete the trail, Bryson’s previous nonfiction writing experience, intact recollection of events due to the time he wrote the book, and his knowledge, research, and main purpose prove he is a credible author.
