SIGNED hardcover first edition - The author's third novel, one which "sees our hero (seduced at 15 by his amorous guardian) fleeing rural Canada to set forth on a lifelong journey of adventure - a search which takes him to the bustling, immigrant-filled New York City of the 1890s; to the Klondike Gold Rush; to Europe, where he runs into the "war to end all wars"; and to the rail yards and hobo jungles of the Great Depression. . . a picaresque tale that is a triumph of the comic imagination."
