Famous Potatoes
DESCRIPTION: Famous Potatoes... The hip, cross-country odyssey in the famous tradition of Jack Kerouac and Tom Robbins. It is the story of a life underground, of the country seen from the bottom looking up - of a man who lost his freedom but learnt he had gained more than he had lost. Willy Middlebrook, war veteran and computer programmer, having been framed on a spurious murder charge, changes his name to 'Crusoe' and flees from his comfortable suburban, middle-class existence on a journey through the least-known haunts of America - from Philadelphia and St Louis to the sky-high Rockies of Idaho. On the road to Erica, his mystical hillbilly bride, Willy rubs up against 'potatoes' of all types - truckers, salesmen and freaks - but discovers that there are a great many genuinely beautiful people - the not-so-famous potatoes - but buried beneath the slickness of a prosperous, straight, suburban America. Will 'Crusoe' - the guy with the knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
