Beschreibung

At age eighteen, Yvonne set out to build a home from trees on 80 acres she bought on an Oregon mountainside. In 1975, log by log she creates a cabin and heals from an orphaned past, finding a new family in the forest, and with people in a valley named John Day.

Babe in the Woods: Self Portrait is the second in a three-book series. It chronicles a span in Yvonne's four decades long relationship with her log cabin and the people she meets in the valley. The book continues Yvonne's story of learning to live in the wilderness within and outside of herself. It is also a story of rogue bears, building a bear-proof log studio, a young artist's development, and the trials and triumph of finding oneself, alone in the backwoods.

Longest book I've ever read. And not in pages... She manages to - what appears to me completely random - describe every dustcorn in her log cabin for 50 pages and then skip over a timespan of 3 months?! I think this book was just not for me. No climax, no developement, just a stretch (literally part 2 out of 3) of endless sentences where she uses every immaginable metaphor or symbol in practically each and every sentence. This overusage was too much for me after 30% of this short book so I only used as a sleeping pill to be honest. As this book starts in the middle of 'nothing happened' and ends exactly the same way (it could have ended 10, 20 or 50 pages before and it wouldn't have made any difference?!), in my opinion her writing and her story would have benefited greatly from a good editor and one single book in the lenght of this one instead of three of them.
