Wild Stories: The Best of Men's Journal

For the past decade, Menâ€™s Journal has set the standard for travel and adventure writing by publishing the work of Americaâ€™s finest authors and literary journalists. Wild Stories collects thirty-two of the best pieces to appear in the magazine, written by its most esteemed contributors, including Jim Harrison, Sebastian Junger, P. J. Oâ€™Rourke, Rick Bass, Thomas McGuane, George Plimpton, Hampton Sides, Doug Stanton, Tim Cahill, and Mark Bowden.

Each of the four chapters in Wild Stories showcases Menâ€™s Journalâ€™s diversity and taut storytelling power. â€œThe Adventuresâ€ is a series of razor-sharp travel narratives, from a road trip across India on the perilous Grand Trunk Road to a search for grizzlies in Romania. â€œThe Sporting Lifeâ€ is a look into obscure corners of the sports world, where golfâ€™s bush-league wannabes try to make it to the PGA and a group of cyclists out-suffer one another in pursuit of the mythic Hour Record. â€œMenâ€™s Livesâ€ includes profiles of singular adventurers such as Yvon Chouinard and Ned Gillette, and captures the rewards of such quintessentially male traditions as building a cabin on your own plot of land. And â€œThe Reportingâ€ collects definitive accounts of the most newsworthy disasters, as well as riveting dispatches from war zones in Somalia, Sudan, and Colombia, and from environmental hot spots in Alaska and Montana.

Commemorating Menâ€™s Journalâ€™s tenth anniversary, Wild Stories is a diverse and entertaining anthology that explores the magazineâ€™s basic creed: Life is an adventure. From the first page to the last, these are stories youâ€™ll never forget.
