Missing
Author(s): Tom Patterson
He was brilliant and troubled and for thirty-five years he lived alone in the wild... then there was silence
Beautifully written and affecting, this is the true story of a young man caught in a world he can't control and how he finds a way to survive.
'This compelling, moving tale of a singular individual is unlike anything I have ever read. As intimate and vivid as a novel, Tom Patterson has given beauty and meaning amid the sorrow.' - Malcolm Knox
Hey mate, Pete and Steve have been talking to some people who live around the national park where Mark lives . . . nobody has seen him for months . . . We're about to head into the gorge . . . I'll let you know what we find . . .
In 1972 Mark May is eighteen. He is bright, beautiful and has a scholarship to study law. Ten years later he descends alone into remote gorge country in north-western New South Wales. He lives in rough camps and stays for thirty-five years. Then, on a feeling, his brothers go looking for him.
