Summary |
This is a raw memior of a complex life, a search for home, a uelogy to lonely souls buried in outback grave and an ode to a beautiful dog. The present is the journey of a man. The past is Raymond's memior revealed with tales of counter culture, drugs, and his encounters with diversed characters all around Australia. This book also seeks to capture Australia ; its complexity, characters, landscape and paradoxes |
