Renowned as one of the greatest specialists in literary journalism, his is an inescapable name when it comes to that journalistic genre. He is also a man of multiple interests with a passion for canoeing and a writer about the history of North-American canoes. His legacy has influenced many generations of researchers and academics dedicated to the study of literary journalism, also known as narrative journalism.
