2 out of 5 stars Unsuitable for GR20.......2005-01-20

(Note: I have read the french version of this book)

Despite the fact that this book as some information about the GR20 (with explicit mention in both the foreward and introduction section), it does not cover the GR20 has one may expect. Bits of trails are mentionned here and there, no chronological information regarding GR20 steps, and so on. Besides, the index is so badly put in place that I could not find information about crucial GR20 point of interest (Calinzana - Ortu di u Piobbu? Cirque de la Solitude? Ascu Stagnu? ...)

This book may be good for the one looking for day hike with no particular multiday backpacking in mind but I would not recommend this book for the one planning for the GR20, mare a mare, or mare a monti.

It is worth to mention that this book contains very nice pictures unseen anywhere else (actually took by the author) which gives a nice impression about the flora and fauna, mountains, and such.

          Book Description

          Brian Bouldrey traveled to the island of Corsica, with its wine-dark Mediterranean waters, powdered-sugar beach sand, sumptuous cuisine, and fine wine. And then he walked away from all of them.
          Bouldrey strapped on a backpack and walked across Napoleon's native land with the same spirit many choose to dance or drink: to celebrate, to mourn, to think, to avoid thinking, to recall, to ignore, to escape, and to arrive.
          This wonderfully textured account of a two-week ramble along a famous Corsican hiking trail with his German friend Petra (she was good at the downhills while he was better at the uphills) offers readers a journal that is a launching point for reflection: thoughts on cultural differences, friendship, physical challenge, personal challenge, and getting very, very lost. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part lampoon, this book offers readers an impressionistic view of a little talked about yet stunningly beautiful landscape.

          Bouldrey, Brian. "Honorable Bandit: A Walk Across Corsica", University of Wisconsin Press, 2007.

          Deceptive Humility

          Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

          The University of Wisconsin Press has taken the lead in the academic field of publishing books relevant to our community. Brian Bouldrey, one of the leading gay men of letters published with them and the result is always exceptional. In
          "Honorable Bandit, he takes us to he island of Corsica where the beach is as white as sugar, the sea is deep and dark as wine and the food and drink is spectacular. Bouldrey walked across Corsica so that he could spend time with himself and to think about his life. At the same time he could also avoid thinking and could escapeâ"escape to remember and to revel in his past and to mourn his losses. For two weeks he and a German friend named Petra hiked cross the land and in this book he gives us a journal of the experience. Corsica was t be for Bouldrey a place for reflection so that he could explore himself first of all ad then the difference in cultures and friendships.
          He surmounted physical dangers and challenges in order to find himself and risked getting lost and facing personal challenges as memory often forces people to do.
          It is somewhat hard to classify this book"it is both memoir and travelogue and also lampoon". Most of us are unfamiliar with Corsica and the beautiful pictures he creates in our minds are not likely to be forgotten quickly
          Bouldrey's journal is humorous and touching at the same time. It is also very wise and extremely touching. As we travel with him, we also explore ourselves and it is easy then to look into the places in our hearts and face issues we may have avoided facing. We can deal with our own demons and Edens and Hells. All of this is in Corsica just as all of this is within every individual. Reading Bouldrey face his inner soul allowed me to peek into my own. Reading Bouldrey allows us to know him and to know ourselvesâ"it is as if he is the tour guide on each readerâ(tm)s personal journey to self discovery and acceptance..
          Bouldrey's humility is deceptive at times and fro this I learned that we should move simply"one step at a time and that step must be timely and measured and full of thought".
          We live in a world where destinations are fixed places ad by leering how to move toward our goal we may be forced to look at our mortality and the road that lies before us. The beauty of Corsica is a metaphor for the beauty of life and while we may trek on the path toward wherever we are going, we question who we are ad what our purpose in life is. I sincerely believe that all of us want to leave a mark on the world and to be remembered for the accomplishments we have made but it is impossible to journey through life and not be affected by it. We also learn that a set destination is not always setâ"obstacles and accidents can change our paths and when all is said and doe, it is up to us to decide which is more importantâ"where we end up or how we get there.
          When I closed the covers of the book I felt cleansed. As I walked through Corsica, which s described so beautifully in Bouldreyâ(tm)s words, I also walked through where I had been and thought very carefully where I am going. A perfect example of this is how I ended up in Arkansas. Had it not been for Katrina, my life would have been completely different and I may not have ever read this book or written this review. It was not planned to be that way but that is how it turned out. Walking through Corsica with Brian Bouldrey allowed me to walk through my own life. Whether where I am now is worth it or not is a question to be answered and while the journey was not always fun, the rewards have been great.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Uncle Tom's Cabin.......2002-05-31

                                  I chose this book to read was because I was suppose to read a historical fiction, but the reason that I chose this book out of all the other historical fiction books because it seemed to remind me of Abe Lincoln cabin.
                                  The book is about slavery. The way that the author described time of slavery back and how everything there was so terrible. It makes me so glad that I live in this time now in this country. I wish that there were more that the black people could do instead of being treated like that. It was like time travel, when I
                                  Reason why I liked it because it showed slavery from and black mans perspective and how slavery was for them. I didn't like was all the horrifying details it goes into slavery. Reason why I choose that book was because it's a good book about slavery and it shows you what really goes on in that time. It was like time travel, when I began to read it was boring, then it seemed that I was sent back in time and seeing the way that they were treated.

                                  5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Books You Can Read.......2001-05-16

                                  This is a really good book. I think all children should have this book in their possession. If they don't, parents you need to buy it.
