Philip Connors Audio Books

Philip Connors was born in Iowa, grew up on a farm in Minnesota, and studied journalism at the University of Montana. Beginning in 1999 he worked at the Wall Street Journal, mostly as an editor on the leisure and arts page. In 2002 he left New York to become a fire lookout in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest, where he has spent every summer since. That experience became the subject of his first book, the multiaward–winning Fire Season: Field Notes From a Wilderness Lookout. His second book, All the Wrong Places, a memoir of life in the shadow of his brother’s suicide, was published in 2015 and selected as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of the year by Kirkus Reviews. He lives in the Mexican-American borderlands.
