Cabin

‘Funny and thoughtful…Hutchison’s dread at returning to Seattle after weekends at the cabin is the same Sunday blues many feel, amplified by the proximity of what he increasingly becomes convinced is a better way to live. You feel his desire to be back in the woods, working with his hands. Don’t we all?’ ―New York Times

‘Cabin is Hutchison’s charming, funny account of his journey rehabilitating the dilapidated hovel on Wit’s End Place…In this equally motivating and relatable book, that earnest commitment to learning and the thrill that accompanies even the tiniest achievement shows on nearly every page.’ ―Washington Post

‘A Walden for the modern age’ – Brett McKay, author of The Art of Manliness

‘Henry David Thoreau meets Home Improvement in Hutchison’s charming debut.’ – Publishers Weekly
