The Saga of Chief Barking Loincloth: Book 2: In Search of Forever Volume 2

Beschreibung

Larry Sargeant's autobiographical questioning of life's essence is told through his protagonist, Alan Bentley. Alan left the cocoon of family four days after high school graduation in 1960, hoping to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming legendary in the mold of real life and fictional heroes. Following three years of army life marked by inconsistent, sporadic, risky, impulsive and often unintentionally hilarious adventures, he returned to his childhood home burdened by a sense of failure. Beset by challenging relationships, national tragedies, and society's changing mores, his quest had floundered. He questioned his motivation, the criteria for heroism, and his potential for success. An unusual epiphany in 1968 inspired him to re-examine his continuing romantic misadventures, inconsistent career and life choices, numerous near-death experiences in the air and on the ground, and often questionable behavior. With a revised sense of urgency, he resurrects the search for his inner hero in the context of a finite forever. Will he succeed?
