Reseña del libro "Jim Christy: A Vagabond Life (Tramp Lit) (en Inglés)"
Rebel, seeker, traveler, observer, vagabond. Writer and poet Jim Christy hasbeen called all these things and more. Inspired at age twelve after reading JackKerouacs On The Road one summer while running wild in the streets of his tough-as-nails, mob-run South Philadelphia neighborhood, Christy began hislife-long habit of following the wind.In his seventy-plus years, Christy asserted his freedom of spirit as a vagabondadventurer, latter-day hobo, journalist, private eye, actor, musician, and artistin over fifty countries around the globe, and still found time to write over thirtybooks of memoir and poetry. Christys life and stories are an essential link in thehistory of rebel talents: those rare souls who shift our perspective by choosing tolive their lives outside of accepted cultural mores. Ian Cutler interviews Christy,his friends, and his family to assemble this fascinating and inspiring biography ofa man who can genuinely be called the last of the Beat Generation.
