From a wanderer who finds a rope hanging from the clear desert sky to a man who is sure he'll discover happiness in counting all the world's beans to beautiful gardens that hold an invisible lover or where the smoky smell of revolution lingers, enjoy the unique voice of Victor David Sandiego as he takes the reader over mountains and across sands to find an elusive spirit guide or kicked-off shoes on the hotel floor. Part prose, part poetry, these works alternately seethe and celebrate with their fantastic detail and a mythology that is allied with the divine and at the same time grounded in the footsteps of cultural outcasts who search for a deeper meaning of life among the stones and sidewalks of the city streets.
