Traveling Without A Passport is a sequel to top selling "The Garden of What Was and Was Not." Peter Peter McCarthy, a "non-repentant hippie," continues on his adventures in disappointing later realities. The focus is now on a cataclysmic period in the mid-Seventies after Nixon. As a writer, David Stone manages to be funny as he is fierce, with an eccentric cast buffeting the fringes of American culture.
