Happiness for Beginners
Files
Description
Author Katherine Center explores where the human desire for self-reinvention meets our sometimes weird cultural obsession with wilderness survival skills. The protagonist, who has never shown an inclination to outdoorsy pursuits in the past, believes conquering a three-week survival course will prove that her post-divorce self is more capable than ever. Along the way, Center examines the protagonist and her fellow campers, difficulties and disabilities and all, to question just what being "capable" and "a survivor" means.
