About Jon Krakauer
American writer and mountaineer
Jon Krakauer is an American writer and mountaineer. Born in 1954, he is known for nonfiction books that draw on outdoor adventure, danger, and endurance, including Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, Under the Banner of Heaven, and Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman.
