Abstract
The first part of the trail I remembered from college. And nearly every summer
since graduation I had hiked in the woods behind Middlebury’s mountain campus,
during the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, usually in the company of the novelist
Tom Gavin. He was on the faculty, I was an administrative scholar, and once
the daily round of readings and lectures, workshops and cocktail parties began to
taper off, it was our custom to steal away for an afternoon. There was an element
of truancy involved-he had manuscripts to read, I had crises to address, we told
no one where we were going-which added a certain thrill to our time together in
the woods.
