Description

A captivating and moving memoir, published in sharp Hemingwayesque writing and set amid the outrageous, uninhibited search tradition of Malibu and Mexico in the late-1970s In the age of three, Norman Ollestad was forced in to the world of browsing and aggressive alpine skiing by the extreme, charming dad he both idolized and resented. However it had been these exciting assessments of ability that eventually saved his life once the Cessna transporting them to some skiing tournament service failed 8,000 ft up in the California hills, making his dad and the pilot useless. The eleven -year-old Ollestad needed to infiltrate the dangerous, slippery hill alone. Insane for the Surprise is just a potent and wonderful true story that illuminates the bond between an extraordinary dad and his extraordinary boy.
