With publication of The Last Tourist (December 2020), the My Country series extends beyond the bounds of North America, to global destinations in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The broader concept of “my country” remains: It is a country of home and heart… Birth home, adopted home, being at home in the wider world. It is the collective places I have inhabited in this life–a country of romance, yearning, beauty and surrender. Of friends and family, co-creators and fellow wayfarers. Of language, music, mindfulness and beyond: home of the witness, ensouled in every now.
The My Country Series is a sixty-five-year chronicle from the heart of the American Dream to the edges of Canadian wilderness, and beyond to tropical shores… seeking survival and success, love and freedom, better health and natural beauty, and a sustainable home for the generations to come.
This collection of memoirs traces a spiral journey of immersion and escape, witness and discovery, on the road to connection and wholeness, in the welcoming mystery of nature.
Navigate innovative, multilayered stories of resilience in exotic, remote settings: from the far North to the high alpine, from cross-country treks to homestead cabins; from fabled cities to deserted beaches.
Hear unique stories told by authentic narrative voices—intimate, and engaging, terse and lyrical, punchy and poetic. Reminiscent of Jim Harrison and Henry Miller, Emerson and Thoreau, Karl Ove Knausgard and Robert Pirsig, Bruce Chatwin and Elizabeth Gilbert.
The My Country Series includes the following books:
- My Generation: A Memoir of the Baby Boom
- My Country: Essays and Stories From the Edge of Wilderness
- Red Rock Road, Light Blue Sea
- The Last Tourist
