This collection shares the experiences of a young long-haired wanderer dodging mass murderers, muggings, revolutions, drug overdoses and other narrow escapes in the 70’s, to the unexpected heroics of a New Wave dilettante in Ottawa, and young dad in Vancouver in the 80’s. It navigates its way through some of the unanticipated side-effects of the long journey to sobriety, and ultimately drops you off on a sweet island of bliss and healing in the current era.
An interesting book on an artist from Vancouver area with some good life stories to tell. I picked this up from a library feature on a whim, and ended up feeling like I might have enjoyed it more if I'd had more context for who the author is, but a good read nonetheless for anyone who enjoys stories crafted in a semi-local setting.
