  • Resumen

  • Brett Popplewell used to dread growing old. Until he befriended Dad Aabaye, an 83-year-old former stuntman and professional skier who lives in the deep forest of B.C.’s Okanagan Valley. Their relationship gave the sports journalist a new way to think about life, death, and the limits placed on us as we age. Aabaye lives alone on a bus, on a mountain and runs for two to six hours daily. He has run through blizzards, heat waves, and even 24 hours straight. For him, running is “life itself.”


    Popplewell chronicles the extreme athlete’s life from childhood to the silver screen in his book, Outsider: An Old Man, a Mountain and the Search for a Hidden Past. The book won the 2024 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. Last month, Popplewell accepted his literary prize and delivered a public talk at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario.
