Silk Road

“In A Bohemian Odyssey Set In The 1960S A Young Man Just Out Of College Backpacks Around The World Sampling Hash Sex And Illumination As The Vietnam War Rages. . . . A Rich Exotic Journey That Will Leave You Reaching For Your Passport.” Kirkus Review It Is 1966 And The Narrator And His Roommate Are Leaving Their California College Town In Order To Hitchhike To New York City And Join Their Friends Who Are Already There. So Begins What Will Become A 20000 Mile Journey Of Loss And Redemption. Silk Road: The Journey Is A Tale Of Travel Adventure And A Young Man'S Coming Of Age Evolving Under Unexpected And At Times The Most Unusual Of Circumstances. Here The Changing Landscape Becomes An Active - Although Not Always Benign - Participant In The Story. Above All The Novel Is A Chronicle Of Impermanence In Which The Narrative - On One Level A Series Of Adventures In Which Places And Events Change And Bonds Between People Are Formed Developed And Severed – Becomes On A Deeper Level An Examination Of Transience As The Protagonist Searches For Meaning And Permanence To The Farthest Ends Of The Earth But Is Able To Find It Only When He Returns Home. A Spirited Free-Wheeling And Ultimately Sobering Story Of Irreverent And Reckless Youth.
