Riverman: An American Odyssey by Ben McGrath
4.0
A drifter floats into and out of people's lives in his plastic kayak. In some ways he's a person who never met a stranger. But how does anyone know when a person with a mobile lifestyle goes missing?
The story bogged down for me in the middle, when it was less about Dick Conant's actual journeys, and on to the tributary stories of some of the people he encountered on his travels.
I have my own little tributaries to go down though -- one of my college profs once told us how, as a teen, he and a friend had rafted down the Mississippi from somewhere, Minnesota.
