Alex thought that his Denver years were his salad days … and they were. But they were also rife with the trauma and repressed memories that would affect his life forever. They were seven years as the 70’s transformed into the 80’s and with all the jobs, relationships, and traveling, his eventual exit from his seven years in Denver ended up right back where he started-sort of.
Written in a Jack Kerouac meets Hunter Thompson-like style, The Delightful Denver Doldrums is a fascinating travelogue into the world some will recognize and most will never forget.
