Book Description
This journal renders a multi-dimensional perspective for a period spanning forty years. These are small stories about what happened to me while I watched what was happening all around me. They depict reminiscence, in a lyrical view of what America was and what it has become. It is the story of my pilgrimage, a portrait of experiences with characters striving to create a life apart from mainstream values. Part political disquisition, part travel journal, part self-exploration, where horror and beauty inhabit the same space of darkest abyss and dazzling paradise, where the words of Ayn Rand, as affirmation and mantra, chaperoned my passage. "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute".
