Tenaya hasn't left Yosemite Valley. He was born in a car by the Merced River, and was raised in a hidden camp with his parents, surviving on fish, acorns, and unfinished food disposed of by the park's millions of tourists. But despite its splendor, Tenaya's Yosemite is a visceral place of opposites, simultaneously beautiful, dangerous, and violent. When he meets Lucy, a woman from the south side of the park, Tenaya must choose between this new relationship and the Valley, terrorism and legend, the sacred versus the material. In such a modern retelling of Samson and Delilah, Graphic the Valley explores mythical strength, worldly greed, love, lust, and epic destruction. Set totally in the majestic Yosemite Valley, Hoffmeister recalls Edward Abbey's vivid sense of place and urgent call for preservation of 1 of the world's most spectacular sites.
