Montana, France. Great combination. How do you divide your time between the two locations?
Michael Finkel
Yes, I adore both places. As I have relatively young kids, the school year determines where we spend most of the time (this year, in France) and the school vacations determine when we can move to the other.

Michael Finkel:
Have you ever heard of a book called "Torment in the Knobs", published in 1976? It's also a true story (though written nearly 90 years after the fact) of a man abandoning modern life to live in the woods. It's extremely obscure and wasn't published far beyond East Tennessee, but upon reading a synopsis of "The Stranger in the Woods" it was the first place my mind went.

Hi Michael! Thank you so much for delving into this story the way you did. This is the most fascinating modern true story I've read in a long, long time. Dude is a genius. What an amazing story, thank you for telling it. Were there any other little details that maybe didn't make the book, but you can share? I can't get enough of this story; the scope of what Mr. Knight did is mind blowing.

Michael Finkel:
I just want to personally thank you for sharing Knight's story with the rest of the world, especially all the little details that came along with it. I've taken an interest with reading again thanks to your book. The last time I read a book was in 2010! Your views regarding isolation really resonated with me and it's comforting to know I'm not the only one out there. Keep it up and best of luck! Cheers!?
