Description:

“After the Rain” is a continuation of his last novel “The Other Side to This Life.” This episode takes the reader on the eclectic adventures of a resilient survivor whose life’s course is determined by the unpredictable winds of fate. More than often, he ends up in precarious and dangerous predicaments. Often, the only options open to him to extricate himself from the situations is by jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Glasser begins this adventure in 1969 Mexico when the Mexican Government was still recovering from the 1968 Mexico City Olympic massacre where the Army troops killed over 200 student protesters, The story continues through the ups and downs in his life on a journey into the economic recession in the early 1980s as a homeless drifter attempting to hitchhike across the United States. In “After the Rain,” Glasser relentlessly drives the reader through the quintessential post Vietnam American experience reminiscent of the Kerouac “On the Road” style adventure story.
