Searching For Sanviejo: Notes To My Younger Self

Told in a compilation of essays and poems, this book encapsulates one man's journey and the quest of each of us to become the very best person possible in the years and months we have left. The goal is to become SanViejo (Saint Old Guy), or the feminine version SantaVieja. Along the road there are profound realizations: Forgiveness was invented because it had to be. The season of Spring is a bacchanalia, a drunken sailor three sheets to the wind, bent on procreation even at the cost of one's life. The more noble aspects of our crazed mating urge, actually reflect God's nature. The vast universe is finite, although expanding, and you are the owner of the part you stand on. And if evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve. This book will have you pondering the infinite one moment, and howling out loud with laughter the next. Larry Moffitt knows his stuff, having spent his life mispronouncing his way through sixty-something countries and eating the unidentifiable. He will tell you about the All Pretty Girl Orchestra in Manila and the heartbreak of turning into a werewolf. He was on the barricades in Moscow when Gorbachev was kidnapped and communism crumbled. He took one for the team, getting kissed on the mouth by the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Kazakhstan. In a thoroughly engaging style that is part astute observer and part gonzo, Larry Moffitt slowly closes in on his own perfection, while remaining gloriously, spectacularly flawed.
