A Thin Redline For Us All

If you're looking for a start, middle and happy ending, keep on looking. This is a hitchhiker's ride on a flat fast road where the journey is the point; the destination is inconsequential. If you're not afraid to suck in the sweet breath of earth or mescal or blossoms or sweat, you'll walk away energized. Bitter and sweet, heartless and poignant, this book confronts like a feral dog. What you get from this encounter depends on where you've been - or more importantly - why you've been there.
