The author is Jon Krakauer.
This chapter appears to be a departure from the McCandless tale, since Krakauer fills his book with filler material in the form of unrelated anecdotes of other people that have died in the wild.
Jon Krakauer:
Gene Rossellini, a "wayward genius" who "wanted to know if it was possible to live without modern technology"; John Mellon Waterman, whose "life's work" became a "collection of notes, poetry, and individual journals";
Everett Ruess, an advertising copywriter who died in the Sierras; and the Papar, Irish monks whose "remarkable voyages were undertaken".
