An Odd Boy: Volume 1 – Paperback Edition

Description

Volume one of an odd boy is a memoire of an eccentric aficionado of Bach and Blues, poetry and painting. A portrait of the artist as a lad, set in the experimental cultural ferment of the late 1960s. It is a coming-of-age adventure, both surreal and innocent, humorous and poignant, depicting an era when the Arts set a generationÕs imagination on fire. The authorÕs life is a rare roulette wheel of childhood wonder and tragic debacles; a debilitating stammer and a powerful singing voice; bad luck and fierce good fortune. At 16 heÕs travelled far in human experience from the midnight expedition he made to the crossroads at the age of 12.
