In a fusion of contrasting worlds, Pale Twisted Forest uncovers the complex life of a Black albino gay man from Russia with roots in the deep American South during the Jim Crow era. As the only openly gay member of the Russian crime syndicate, the Bratva, his existence is as layered as it is perilous. Born out of rape, he navigates a complex relationship with his mother and an enduring family secret: three generations of hidden homosexuality and bisexuality. Despite his rugged exterior and a maze of unconventional relationships, he embarks on a quest for authentic love, all while fending off insidious enemies determined to annihilate him and his family. This spellbinding saga chronicles the Fisk family as they unite in a fierce battle for survival. Along the way, they find themselves entangled in transformative situations, each shaping their individual and collective destinies. Through webs of drama and threads of adventure, theirs is a journey like no other; indeed, a pale twisted forest of experiences and revelations.

In February 2000 Guy Waterman died in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In recognition of the renewed interest in his life and work, The Countryman Press is proud to reissue this classic text, with a new appreciation of her late husband by Laura Waterman. In this environmental call to action, Laura and Guy Waterman look beyond preserving the ecology of the backcountry to focus on what they call its spiritual dimension--its fragile, untamed wildness. "Without some management, wildness cannot survive the number of people who seek to enjoy it," they write. "But with too much management, or the wrong kind, we can destroy the spiritual component of wildness in our zeal to preserve its physical side." Trailside huts and lodges, large groups seeking "wilderness experiences," federal and state regulations, and technology such as radios, cell phones, global positioning devices, and emergency helicopters, all have an impact on our experience. With humor and insight, the Watermans explore these difficult wilderness management issues. They ask us to evaluate the impact that even "environmentally conscious" values have on the wilderness experience, and to ask the question: What are we trying to preserve?
