\"Strange<\/p>\n

Jentz has written Strange Piece of Paradise<\/em> to recount her investigation into the mystery of an attack by an axe-wielding stranger upon her and a friend in 1977 while they were camping in Cline Falls State Park in central Oregon. In May 2006 USA Today<\/em> described it: “Part true crime, part memoir, part a profile of a stone-cold psychopath and part an exploration of violence and its effect on people and communities, Jentz’s book is tough to read — and even tougher to put down.” In a review for The New York Times Sunday Book Review<\/em><\/a>, Mary Roach says that “Like many such journeys, “Strange Piece of Paradise” is not likely to be an undertaking you regret. The author’s experience as a screenwriter has given her an unerring feel for visual detail…” Excerpts from a number of reviews are available from Barnes and Noble’s web site<\/a> or Amazon’s web site<\/a>. The New York Times<\/em> named it one of the fifty nonfiction “Notable Books of the Year<\/a>” for 2006.<\/p>\n

The University Library has a copy of the book in its 3rd-floor Main Collection (call no. HV6793.O7 J46 2007), but if it is checked out on campus then UW-W faculty, staff, and students may request a copy free from other UW campus libraries using the Universal Borrowing<\/a> service. Requested items should arrive in 2-4 weekdays. The Irvin L. Young Memorial (public) Library in Whitewater also has this book in its collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
