In the story, Mowat gets dropped off at a nondescript location in the middle of an ice field by a renegade pilot with a cargo-load of supplies procured by the government. ![]() In fact, not knowing makes the book better for me. To be perfectly honest, I don’t care if it was total non-fiction. Mowat was certainly sent by the government to study wolves and did some research, indeed, but the absolute facts are debated by Mowat and his opposers. There’s a lot of argument over whether Mowat’s book is fiction or non-fiction. In the late 1940s, Mowat was sent into the Arctic wilderness to research the relationship between wolves and caribou, against claims that wolves were decimating caribou populations. Farley Mowat is a Canadian-born author of several tomes, and Never Cry Wolf was written based on his purported experiences as a biologist for the Canadian government. Rarely does a book skyrocket into my top 5 favorites within the first twenty pages or so, but Never Cry Wolf certainly did. ![]()
