A memoir of the author's first thirty years: Berkeley through 1944, a year in small-town Oklahoma, high school in rural California, marriage and odd jobs.
Travels in Spain and The Netherlands, with side trips to Paris and Torino. Comments (more often meditations) on restaurants, hotels, the landscape, the people, and their history; on paintings and music, museums and cathedrals; and politics; and language; and books... 240 pages; b&w photos.
A play in two acts for five actors trying to find meaning in a life cluttered by experience.
