Plot

In a great bid for freedom from his mother's still-overpowering legacy, he hitchhikes across the U.S. only to summon the phantoms he had sought to escape. Alan's continued odyssey takes him from an Israeli kibbutz and the Israeli army to his descent into alcoholism and homelessness on the streets of New York. At last, discovering in poetry the gift that is true to his being, he also finds sobriety in San Francisco."--BOOK JACKET.
