Memoir
Io Vagabondo - A Memoir: 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.
