ITEM OVERVIEW
An incredible, hallucinatory, magical-realistic (in the best Galleano style), history, and autobiography. Ross has been around for a while—hobo revolutionist, junkie, poet, journalist—"the Willy Loman of the Zapatistas." He's performed with Mingus, sold drugs to Dizzy Gillespie, logged 20,000 miles last year bringing the story of the Zapatista's struggles to North America, and was a human shield in Baghdad. This is entertaining, inspiring, invigorating, amusing, astounding, and downright educational. Sheer brilliance.
"A hilarious way to learn the true down-home history of the American Left's heroic past. Bravo to John Ross!" —Lawrence Ferlinghetti
