Ebook description

A classic road novel from the 1970s, now an ebook. Willy, a nice boy from the suburbs, is framed for murder and goes on the lam. With hopeful heart and broken balls he joins the people of humble cafes and dusty bars, underground, where life is basic. “An engaging, warm, well-told story of a likable character with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”—Publisher’s Weekly

Review by: Missouri Mo on March 26, 2010 :
For me this is like a blast from the past. I'd lost my much-abused copy from 30 years ago. So glad to see it "in print" once again. It's irreverent, funny, sometimes icky, and deeply humane.
