Volume one of an odd boy is a memoire of an eccentric aficionado
of Bach and Blues, poetry and painting.
A portrait of the artist as a lad, set in the experimental cultural
ferment of the late 1960s.
It is a coming-of-age adventure, both surreal and innocent, humorous and
poignant, depicting an era when the Arts set a generation’s imagination
on fire.
The author’s life is a rare roulette wheel of childhood wonder and
tragic debacles;
a debilitating stammer and a powerful singing voice; bad luck and fierce
good fortune.
At 16 he’s travelled far in human experience from the midnight
expedition he made to the crossroads at the age of 12.
