Description

Garrison Keillor meets Jack Kerouac meets Mahatma Gandhi in this wry, roadwise scripture.

Hobo Sapien is a series of freight train parables born out of the author's twelve-plus years riding freight trains, combined with lessons learned in his seven-year stint as a Self-Realization Fellowship monk, plus the added bonus of fascinating railroad history.

Non-fiction readers buy books to learn something, for reference, or to be entertained.

Hobo Sapien fills all three bills. Readers will get a unique immersion into the underground world of the hobo.

The spiritual takes are written with a subtle humor that helps the medicine go down.

It is not your parent's self-help book.Armchair adventurers, rail fans, spiritual seekers, and academia nuts will all gather intriguing information from this missive.

It is vastly different from other hobo books because of its unparalleled combination of adventure, rail history, humor, and spirituality.

The author's background is also unique and varied. Not many hobos have gone from Yale to rail or from hunk to monk.
