A WALK IN THE WOODS Inspires Hikers and Readers
The movie adaptation of Bill Bryson’s A Walk In the Woods opens on Wednesday, starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, and Emma Thompson.
It is already gaining a following. The New York Times Magazine reports at the beginning of an interview with Bryson that “Park rangers along the Appalachian Trail are preparing for a huge influx of visitors, thanks to the release of A Walk in the Woods.”
Holds, on both the print and audiobook versions of Bryson’s memoir/travel tale, are growing at several libraries across the country as well, indicating that readers might be similarly inspired by the movie.
The NYT interview includes questions about bears, science, and politics, which Bryson answers in his trademark blend of clarity and wit.
We posted a story earlier, when the trailer for the movie was released, with details of the movie-tie in edition.
