From getting on the wrong end of political correctness at St. John's College Santa Fe followed by a confused odyssey as an ESL teacher a doctoral student a would-be scholar and poet pundit and constitutionalist attorney psychedelic inner space explorer and blues piano player-and then returning to his boyhood neighborhood only to find it irretrievably morphed and mangled. The confusion experienced during the cultural mutant's long odyssey in the wilderness of not-knowing (precisely) the causes of his malaise is exhaustively portrayed herein.
