The legend of the big, hairy primate has a very particular appeal.
is a work of mourning. Bigfoot, as O’Connor, a journalism professor, illustrates, is thriving—if by “Bigfoot” we’re talking about the legend of Sasquatch and the communities that have sprung up to seek out the hairy, towering primate said to lurk in the depths of America’s few remaining old-growth forests. It’sBigfoot, the symbol, who, O’Connor argues, flourishes and does so because of how much we’ve lost.
O’Connor traveled to woods in Kentucky, Massachusetts, California, Arkansas, and Texas, and he wraps everything up with his own fleeting glimpse of “a brownish blur and at least two reedy legs poking through long desert grass” in, of all places, New Mexico.
But the Bigfooters, much as he vibes with many of them, also trouble O’Connor. They are almost all “old white guys, young white guys, middle-aged white guys.” Former cops and military men strike him as overrepresented in the cohort, and he knows that Bigfoot belongs to a constellation of vaguely paranormal beliefs that may seem harmless but can lead the faithful down some dark paths.
