Synopsis: In this eclectic collection, the author recounts an assortment of personal adventures both at home and as an international traveler. He and his wife journey by train through Mexico and stay at a residential hotel in Las Vegas, and as a man in middle age he stays at a youth hostel in England. Adventures at home include working desk duty at a hotel for transients and spending time in a psychiatric hospital. The collection also includes several short stories, such as "The Last (Debt)-Free Man," in which a man in a futuristic society is arrested for refusing to purchase goods on credit.
