Paperback. Condición: Very good. 1st Edition. Octavo in black and pictorial wrappers; red endpapers; 90 pages; 22 cm. "The first in a series of brilliant new novels by Vietnam combat veteran Ron Kovic, author of the "timeless and classic" Born on the Fourth of July. Hitching west around the world from his home town of Massepaqua, Long Island, a young man meets up with an Ohio trucker, police from Cicero, Illinois, a beautiful Brazilian exchange student, a fast-driving Tucsonian, an irreverent Native American on a bike, and an array of crazy San Francisco characters, including a mad DJ--DR. Twist. What starts out as a seemingly light-hearted wager that he could indeed circle the earth in eight days without the use of aircraft and space-craft, this highly-charged caper takes off on the wings of Kovic's imagination and turns into a heart-breaking voyage through the depths of his own wartime past, embodying as well the author's foreboding of the future."--Back cover. Contains press clipping about the book. // Fiction, Hitchhiking, Hitchhiking Fiction, Romans. Very good; tight and clean; front wrapper is slightly bowed.
