The essay is an ecocritical reading of Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild" (1996). Through the evaluation of Krakauer's sources and Chris McCandles's influences, it explores the concept of nature represented in the palimpsest, and investigates its position within the theoretical field, defining it as close to the more radical approaches.
