Ludmer narrates his fun filled, adventurous hitchhiking throughout the USA and Europe in the 60s, with hilarity and heartfelt honesty. His Ma is never at a loss for zingers.

Ken Ludmer has the ability to renew a classical picaresque genre for contemporary readers. His book is a bitter sweet, often hilarious journey that betrays the authors grand reservoir of jouissance. His honesty disarms while touching the core of our being. If you are down, and lonely and nobody to talk to, grab this book, your dark soul will be revived.
