1. Walking Through Clear Water In A Pool Painted Black
A raw, darkly funny collection of autobiographical stories charting a wild path through bohemian enclaves from Baltimore and Provincetown to New York and Europe, filled with odd jobs, risky adventures, and tender friendships. With sharp, compassionate observation, the narrator celebrates misfits and outlaws while confronting addiction, illness, and loss. The result is a vivid snapshot of late-20th-century underground culture, brimming with grit, humor, and hard-won grace.
