Two unlikely friends wander the west in old Ford station wagon. One is
fighting time and the other addiction. In quiet confessions, they travel a
mysterious past, through a present warmed by wisdom and laughter. The people
they meet are unpredictable: aristocrats, mobsters, strong women and weak men.
Theirs is a troubled odyssey, torn by jailbreaks, flash floods, heartbreak and
war. Join them on a timeless adventure in the road trip you'll never forget.
Review
This was an interesting, multi-layered, and entertaining read about the depth of connection between unlikely friends and their journey's both separately and together. They have their own personalities and lives and the author does a great job of keeping true to them as characters.
Bayne depicts the resourcefulness of these characters in detail that encompasses the time and place.
In the end, it's very interesting and does a great job of bringing everything together and was an amazingly written book.
About the Author
WILLIAM LANDVOIGT BAYNE grew up in the South, lives in the West, and was
educated on the roads somewhere in between. As a young man, he hitchhiked
across America, drew comic books, and ran away to join the circus. That
didn’t work out long term, so he moved on to advertising and television,
using the same skills he picked up shoveling manure with the Ringling
Brothers. He has a lot of shiny statues from those filmmaking days.
Writing fiction is a lot more fun than shoveling, so that’s what he does now.
Bayne’s unique voice springs from his long experience as an artist, director and storyteller. His many documentary and commercial honors include: The New York Art Directors Club Award, the Telly, the Addy, the Time-Life Freddie Award, the BLUE Ocean Film Festival Award, and recognition at both the Houston and San Francisco International Film Festivals.
