Subway Hitchhikers

Subway Hitchhikers is the story of a youth who has no inkling he's a Tibetan reincarnated into his middle-class family in Iowa. What he knows is that he doesn't quite fit in where he's landed. In his confusion and hunger to uncover his innate identity and purpose, he ventures alone eastward, first to college in Indiana and then on to the East Coast itself, where he descends step by step into surrealistic subterranean realms at the zenith of the psychedelic outburst of the late Sixties and early Seventies. Along the way, each stage of his journey is furthered by daring comrades and colorful lovers, each one advancing his vision and direction. At last, in the clash of the meditative silence he discovers in his rural dwelling and the chaotic ruckus of massed humanity he encounters in his urban adventures, he sees and hears another world that points him toward true home. It's nothing he would have imagined, but nevertheless fulfilling. With the underground in all its forms as a theme, Subway Hitchhikers is a Mixmaster of ideas, images, jokes, philosophy, and playful nonsense drawn from deep yearnings and inspiration.
