    Default Christopher McCandless



    Christopher Johnson McCandless, also known by his pseudonym "Alexander Supertramp", was an American adventurer who sought an increasingly nomadic lifestyle as he grew up. McCandless is the subject of Into the Wild, a nonfiction book by Jon Krakauer that was later made into a full-length feature film.
    Christopher Johnson McCandless was a boy from a wealthy family who grew up in a rich suburb of Washington DC. In the summer of 1990, after a degree (with honours) in history and anthropology, he decided to drop everything – his family, his money and even his name. He gave his 24,000 dollars in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions and started what it seemed a pilgrimage. Chris was driven by a great idealism and even before his departure he started to live in an almost ascetic way, giving up wealth and privileges. Chris wasn’t naïve: he knew that the journey to Alaska would be full of hurdles and peril, but such hardships were necessary for his initiation. Chris, who called himself Alexander Supertramp, didn’t want to flee civilization for good, but only stay away for a while in order to be reborn, like a rite of passage. “He invented a new life for himself in order to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented,” writes Krakauer. Chris didn’t just flee an alienating society, he also fled his familiar traumas characterised by the discovery of his father’s bigamy.

    I read the book, thought he was EIE. IEI may be plausible too.
