Description
On the central and north coast of British Columbia, the Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world, containing more organic matter than any other terrestrial ecosystem on the planet. The area plays host to a wide range of species, from thousand-year-old western cedars to humpback whales to iconic white Spirit bears. According to local residents, another giant is said to live in these woods. For centuries, people have reported encounters with the Sasquatch?a species of hairy, bipedal man-apes said to inhabit the deepest recesses of this pristine wilderness. Driven by his own childhood obsession with the creatures, John Zada decides to seek out the diverse inhabitants of this rugged and far-flung coast, where nearly everyone has a story to tell, from a scientist who has dedicated his life to researching the Sasquatch to members of the area's First Nations and a former grizzly-bear hunter-turned-nature tour guide. With each tale, Zada discovers that his search for the Sasquatch is a quest for something infinitely more complex, cutting across questions of human perception, scientific inquiry, indigenous traditions, the environment, and the power and desire of the human imagination to believe in?or reject?something largely unseen.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Listeners may find this audiobook a frustrating cop-out, but its subject matter is still entertaining. For adventure writer John Zada, whether or not the Sasquatch truly exists matters less than what the legendary creature tells us about ourselves. Pete Cross's narration is equally entertaining. The warmth of both the text and the performance is most obvious in the interactions between the author and the indigenous people he visits in their remote British Columbia communities. Initially suspicious of outsiders, most come to appreciate his genuine interest in their traditions and respect for their beliefs. While Zada reviews the evidence for the Sasquatch (or lack of it) with a mostly objective eye, the audiobook is mainly a compelling travelogue and a philosophical reflection that illuminates questions without attempting to definitively answer them.
