About the Book Before plunging recklessly into the psyche-squashing humiliations and epic tales of buffoonery, Murphy invites us to ride shotgun on his achingly funny and tearfully poignant roadtrip of self-discovery and reinvention. Buckle up, it's a MasterClass in Humanities. Whether we're having a drink with Warhol or getting rescued onstage by Robin Williams, Baby Boomers get the chance to vicariously relive their lives through this deeply intimate American saga. And before we run out of gas, our well-traveled guide lets us in on a secret: It's possible to find our way back home once we laugh, cry, forgive, and love again.
