Publisher's Synopsis
It's been described as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets The Death of Bunny Munro--and, once you start reading this haunting, deeply personal novel, you'll see why...
When Biddy Debeau finds his girlfriend naked and overdosed in a closet, it suddenly seems like the right time to start his own life over. But no sooner than his fresh start begins, it's finished, and Biddy is forced to take a long, hard look at his life...and he doesn't like what he sees.
From meaningless jobs and shallow relationships, to extreme debauchery, binge drinking, and drug-induced dazes, Biddy's life has been filled with things that have only made it empty. Eager to fill the void he hops on his motorcycle to find freedom and meaning on the open road.
But it doesn't go as planned. Once on the freeways, byways, and back routes, Biddy's ride takes unexpected twists, and turns into a surreal ordeal that threatens to completely destroy him. Yet, with his inner voice screaming, his bloodshot eyes burning, and fantasy and reality blurring together, he presses onward-chasing a bright future he desperately hopes can exist.
Biddy Debeau Rides for His Life is a story about how we can run, but never hide, from our problems. Dark, moody, and moving, it takes readers on one hell of a wild ride along the West Coast and through the human condition.
