He hopes merely to observe quietly, to collect experience. On the road he meets a variety of strangers, some more strange than others -- from the Dawson City gold miner in designer sunglasses, the evangelistic co-ed, and a number of alcoholics (some more recovering than others) to the owner of a shrine to Elvis, the Crocodile Lady, and the leathery pensioner intent on passing his days beneath the palm trees of Miami Beach. Collecting stories and mementos as he goes, by the end of his travels Cameron has also acquired a richer sense of the possibilities of his own life. Equal parts travel picaresque and coming-of-age memoir, \u003ci\u003eContinental Drifter\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an interpretation of many fleeting individuals and a gradual discovery of one in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897109008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897109007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 6.49w x 0.60d","brand":"Dave Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587934826751,"sku":"9781897109007","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4cd165a-03d5-4c1a-aa4d-c41447019389.jpg?v=1780171462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/continental-drifter-dave-cameron-9781897109007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
