Camping Out In Monterey

About the Book

Camping Out in Monterey is a true story almost written in blood, and is a continuation of the author's autobiographical stories, David Johnson Passed Through Here which the New York Times Book Review called the "quintessential thumb-trip narrative", Highway 101, and This Autumn, a love story set in Montréal. It's about being an artist and writer in an evil, often impossible world, and a spiritual journey with a triumph of the human soul over very much illness and travail. It contains a considerable amount about writing and the writer's life, and Hollywood. Set in California's spectacular Big Sur coast and Monterey County, one gets a good picture of the wilderness there, as in Livingstone's Big Sur and the Canyon, but with an entirely different type of story_though both are personal. Camping Out in Monterey is also an intense psychological drama and speaks to some of the current nightmares of modern America_the real truth about some of its medical care, among other things: how they become businesses and like infections, threaten our lives.
