Tales of the Brooklyn Hobo chronicles Alex’s adventures as he hops a freight train in Nebraska, is harassed by the federales in Mexico, has a gun pulled on him by a tearful Oregonian cowboy, encounters God while tripping on LSD at Woodstock, and finds love in all the wrong places. Intermixed in the narrative of the past are journal entries (called Night Flights), which address the author’s struggle with Bipolar Disorder and addictions.
A native of Brooklyn, NY, Alex has traveled the country extensively in his quest for truth and identity. He has battled addictions - his own and the people around him - for as far back as he can recall. Recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Alex reveals with candor and humor how the disorder has affected his life.
