“Wild: An Elemental Journey”
Cannibals and deserts, polar bears and passion, songlines and shamans. The essential wildness of the human spirit.
WILD won the inaugural Orion Book Award for 2007 and was shortlisted for the Orwell prize and for the World Book Day award.
“Reality is such that both language and imagination have to exaggerate, in order to confront it truly. Living with such exaggeration you need a very good head for heights and a lot of bravery. In this book Jay Griffiths has both. If bravery itself could write (by definition it can't), it would write, I believe, like she does.” – John Berger
“ Wild is like nothing else I've ever read: thrilling, troubling, frightening, exhilarating. Jay Griffiths' courage and energy are formidable, but so is her sheer intelligence and literary flair. This is a truly necessary book, and we are all lucky that the subject found a writer worthy of it.”
– Philip Pullman“A major book by a woman who is, no question, a major writer.” – Bill McKibben
“Incandescent, kaleidoscopic, brave, exhilarating, Wild is sensuous, cocky, magnificent, liberating … Joycean word-play, meticulous scholarship, ironic wit, crafted cadences. Wild is a profoundly important contribution, a raging oratorio.” – Richard Mabey, The Times

“A book of profound originality and energising novelty, an extraordinary investigation into the enclosure of time… Cheeky, intelligent, brave…a seminal work.” – George Monbiot, Bookmarks magazine .
