Amos and the Cosmos

So
starts Amos' memoirs, a rollicking journey through the heart
of America. His search for some truth in the universe is
propelled by meeting his mentor, Ben, a savvy and astute
observer of human folly, who introduces Amos to the
"Cosmos," where all creativity lives. Amos' journey takes
him from childhood into manhood through the tumultuous
decades of the fifties and sixties, as he experiences the
struggle of African-Americans for civil rights, the Beat
generation, Vietnam, and Haight-Ashbury; all in search of
the threads that connect the fabric of his life to the rest
of the world.

He reflects on religion, family,
relationships, love, war, and country amidst the historical
America that has captivated him, exposing the core of his
extraordinary soul along the way. Amos and the Cosmos is an
insightful view of Americana through Amos' eyes-a journey
filled with humor, tenderness, and pathos.
