Yuma Zoom

About the Book

Two collegiate friends embark on a series of road adventures seeking meaning to life and their place in it. Along the way the pair meet an outrageous collection of characters who provide both answers, and new questions, for their introspective quest. If On the Road was rewritten by the literary duo of Flann O´Brien and John Kennedy Toole, you might have something approaching the riotous zaniness this introduction to the Zoom Generation presents. A simultaneous exploration of the breadth and depth of life, Yuma Zoom promises to be read and reread by fiction lovers for generations to come.
