This book is somewhat a travel story, part memoir, with a healthy dose of insanity thrown in for extra flavor. It is also entirely true.
The author has gotten divorced, divested himself of all possessions save those he can carry, and now wanders the world looking for things he has never seen before, and even things he never knew existed. It's a long, strange trip. At the end of this existence, all you are is a collection of stories. You owe it to yourself to make yours the best one ever.
