A Long And Indeterminate Perambulation

"I was deeply moved. It is a brilliant meditation
on life and death. Elegantly written and utterly
original, this book will surely endure."
ROBERT OLEN BUTLER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'A Good Scent From A Strange Mountain'

Robert McGowan's 'A Long and Indeterminate Perambulation' is not a conventional piece of storytelling.

Told from the viewpoint of a 75-year-old "philosopher artist," this novella is driven far more by character and idea than by narrative.

This book presents her diary entries following a more or less daily walk around her neighborhood. These entries provide consistently insightful views on the deepest of subjects... Life, war, death and art.

Poignant, thought-provoking and not infrequently controversial, 'A Long and Indeterminate Perambulation' is always stirring.

"Heartfelt and utterly beautiful, yet grounded in strength, integrity, and conviction. McGowan at his very best."
CHRISTINE COTE, Founder, Shanti Arts
