Through works of fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, this energetic anthology addresses issues that concern us today: genetic research, globalization, technology, urban alienation, suburban sprawl, immigration, animal rights, colonialism, wilderness preservation, and much more. Naked is no gentle ode to the natural world. With politically charged rants, outrageous personal journeys, and fiction that shocks and challenges, Naked updates the passionate environmentalism of Edward Abbey and his generation. Contributors include T. C. Boyle, Klaus Kinski, Charles Bowden, A. L. Kennedy, Bruce Chatwin, and many others.
