Michael is in the process of finishing A Higher Ed, The Lost e-mails of a Generation, a fascinating novel that follows the story of a young dreamer and his 3 best friends as they search for a life full of meaning, adventure, sensuality and love while trying to finish college.
Like much of Hunter S. Thompson's work, this book is a scathing critique of the so called American Dream chocked with equal amounts of partying, sex and spiritual contemplations that will have you laughing out loud and yearning for more out of your life
Michael is already working on the pre-quel called An Oxford Ed, which follows the protagonist Ed Dragon a year earlier as he is enrolled at New College, Oxford University. This book is a hilarious and profound year long story of what it is to be an American abroad, looking for love and lust, and trying radical new experiences that range from hitch hiking to Scotland and Tripping on acid in Spain. Ed has a tumultuous year of trysts, drunken binges, mad writing sessions, fights with thugs, unexpected mystical encounters and mind and soul expanding experiences that leave him forever a changed man. "There ain't no going back," Ed yells from the top of Magdlen Tower as the first rays of the morning sun rise in the east like the spread wings of a massive golden bird.
Very soon I will be loading up stories and impressions on the blog on this sight. Hold tight, stay loose and check back here soon to see what I've got up my sleeve(s)
Thanks for stopping by... Namaste, Michael Darigan
