Publisher's Synopsis
Two men, bivouacked on a snowy peak, ready themselves to begin the final ascent of Everest. "FROM THE JOURNAL OF HAZARD MCCAULEY is a playful title for what amounts to a psychic play - and an ambitious one ... The surprises Reeves has in store are entertaining ..." -Robert Koehler, The Los Angeles Times "The enforced isolation, the thrill of the imminent conquest, the battering of the storm outside on flimsy tent walls - this is the stuff of prime drama. Add the sudden disappearance of a Sherpa guide, one man's increasing psychosis from altitude sickness, and an inhuman cry faintly heard above the blizzard, and the work takes an unexpected leap beyond the merely interesting to a metaphysical plane where magic is routine, horror is gently implied, and the fantastic suddenly becomes real. The play is superlative ..." -F Kathleen Foley, The Reader
