io vagabondo

The story of a gay man's life - from the middle of the last century until the start of the new millennium, this book begins in a small town in Canada. Caught between the valuable lessons of living on the land, and the excitement of the city, the young man goes from a disastrous start at university, to thirty years of wide-eyed adventures in Canada, England, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Australia, and California.
The book is populated by a collage of characters from artists, prostitutes, musicians, countesses, astrologers, and movie makers. The author's emotional adventures take him from a life of single hedonism, to serial monogamy, marriage, divorce, and out through an open window into a sophisticated world of international connectedness where he meets an unexpected new love. Through the travel and turmoil, the author has worked as a bank clerk, draftsman, taxi driver, highway surveyor, gardener, property caretaker, night auditor, and delivery driver.
As an observant vagabond, he has gained valuable insights into life, and he hopes the reader will hang on for the ride as he stumbles toward enlightenment.
