<p>Eddie Delano is an underachieving, recalcitrant young man desperate to avoid life's absurdities and cursed to experience them in total. His sidesplitting quest begins in war-torn Vietnam but moves quickly to rural California and a circus-like college campus filled with oddball professors, rabid women's libbers and misguided leaders of the social revolution. His helpers and guides include the ultimate con man, a stoned-out hippie, and the wicked woman of his dark desires. Despite their shenanigans and the obstacles provided by the comically inept sheriff's detectives and the maniacal vegetarians of Baba Rama, Eddie finds his treasure. Or does he?</p>

In this prequel to Delano, we find our hapless hero grappling with his identity in a world of paradox, caught between an authentic place of peace, love and music and a wasteland driven by mindless self-indulgence. The inhabitants of this wasteland include Eddie's hopelessly gullible parents, expedient teachers, useless authority figures, and vicious pets. This time his helpers and guides include a beautiful beatnik recluse and her cynical parrot, a hippie pachuco with the inside track to everything, and Molly the poet. But always in the background, the mechanism of irony played out in a war-driven society. Nothing at all like today.
