This is a biography of Mo Antoine, a Fred Beckey-type who climbed all over the world and didn't manage to make much of a name for himself, because he saw it as entirely besides the point. My introduction to this work came from a Swedish climber we met dirtbagging in Joshua Tree, who had painted "Feed the rat!" on the the side of the beat-up sedan she was living out of. That tells you a lot, I think.
The author has some literary cred too - publishing in the New Yorker, etc.
Hardcover book, 152 pages, with one slim b&w photographic insert. Dust jacket in excellent shape within vinyl cover.
