Dan White’s first book, The Cactus Eaters is a chronicle of his harrowing attempt to through-hike the Pacific Crest Trail with his then-girlfriend. The two undertake this beautiful but strenuous 2,650-mile journey from Mexico to Canada with scant experience and a heaping pile of expensive gear. A real-life dark comedy about a vision quest that goes ridiculously awry in the wild American West, the book draws on diaries White kept at the time.
