THE PANTS OF PERSPECTIVE
One Woman's 3,000 kilometre running adventure through the wilds of New Zealand
Cheryl Strayd's WILD meets Bill Bryson's DOWN UNDER in this inspiring but also hilarious memoir of one woman running alone across the length of New Zealand. A fiercely feminist and amazingly beautiful travel book, THE PANTS OF PERSPECTIVE follows Anna McNuff as she decides you don't need to be a professional athlete to test what your body can do, and you
don't need anything more than a sense of will to go out and have the adventure of a lifetime.
Anna was never anything like those real' runners on telly -- all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and mega fast stop-watch times. When Anna ran she wasn't very quick and her bum cheeks would rub together. She just ran for herself, and so she could eat large quantities of cake -- but when Anna heard about New Zealand's 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder --perhaps being a real' runner was overrated?
Travelling alone through New Zealand's backcountry for 148 days, Anna scrambled through forests, over mountain passes, and along beaches. Running up to 52 kilometres a day, she slept wild most nights, and met many colourful and caring kiwis along the way, many of whom were determined to help her on her epic journey.
THE PANTS OF PERSPECTIVE is a witty, colourful and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself capable of. It is a coming-of-age story that will lead you on a roller coaster ride through fear, vulnerability courage and failure.
THE PANTS OF PERSPECTIVE made Anna McNuff a self-publishing phenomenon when it first appeared in English speaking markets in 2017. It has gone on to sell more than 40,000 copies and receive over a 1000 glowing Amazon reviews. Anna has since gone on many more adventures, two of which appear in her follow up books 50 SHADES OF USA, Anna's journey cycling through all fifty states of America, and LLAMA DRAMA, her adventures in South America. Anna has also won the Kindle Storyteller Award (2020), appeared on BBC Breakfast and performed as an inspirational speaker to thousands of school children and corporate clients including Google, Adobe and Deloitte. Anna is currently writing her fourth book about running the equivalent of ninety back-to-back marathons across Britain, barefoot.
