Where's Jon?
Stephanie Losee, a blogger on The Huffington Post Web site, takes "Outside" magazine to task for not including comments from Jon Krakauer in its 10-year anniversary story on the 1996 Everest climbing disaster.
Krakauer chronicled the events on the mountain in his best-selling book "Into Thin Air."
Losee laments that Krakauer wasn't included in the review story and is, in fact, bashed by many who did contribute to the piece. She writes this: "Krakauer has had to be surpassingly careful about revealing his whereabouts after receiving death threats in the wake of the publication of his book Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith."
I don't know about the threats, but it is true that Krakauer has doggedly followed events in the FLDS community since his book.
I do know the LDS Church had a fit over the book. Its critiques are available here.
