Cabin Fever: A Suburban Father's Search for the Wild
Tom Montgomery Fate
?If Tom Montgomery Fate has not found the secret formula for the deliberate, balanced life, he is a chief disciple of the search.??Chicago Tribune
Try to imagine Thoreau married, with a job, three kids, and a minivan. This is the sensibility?serious yet irreverent?that suffuses Cabin Fever, as the author seeks to apply the hermit-philosopher?s insights to a busy modern life. Tom Montgomery Fate lives in a Chicago suburb, where he is a husband, father, professor, and active member of his community. He also lives in a cabin built with the help of friends in the Michigan woods, where he walks by the river, chops wood, and reads Thoreau by candlelight. Fate seeks a more attentive, deliberate way of seeing the world and our place in it, not only in the woods but also in the context of our relationships and society. In his search for ?a more deliberate life? amid a high-tech, material world, Fate invites readers into an interrogation of their own lives, and into a new kind of vision: the possibility of enough in a culture of more.
