Adventures in solitude : what not to wear to a nude potluck and other stories from Desolation Sound / by Grant Lawrence.

Lawrence, Grant, 1971- (Author).

Summary:

"Young Grant's father bought a piece of Desolation Sound land in the 1970s, just in time to encounter a gun-toting cougar lady, left-over hippies, outlaw bikers and an assortment of other vagabonds. In those years Desolation Sound was a place where going to the neighbours' potluck meant being met with hugs from portly naked hippies and where Russell the Hermit's school of life (boating, fishing, and rock 'n' roll) was Grant's personal Enlightenment - an influence that would take him away from the coast to a life of music and journalism and eventually back again."--Provided by the publisher.
