A painfully honest, funny and at times poignant account of the author’s rocky road to early adulthood and his efforts to reconcile within himself the conflicting influences of his good-humored mother and moody father. His journey through romantic misadventures, the turmoil of the ‘60s, a comedy partnership, and the glimmers of a spiritual awakening is more than entertaining, conveying as it does the insight of hard-earned wisdom about life.
