10,000 Miles with My Dead Father''s Ashes: Or Mi Padre es Muerto en la Bolsa
English
By (author): Devin Galaudet
Finalist for the Foreword INDIES Award for Best Autobiography & Memoir
Part travelogue, part memoir, a book about how we say good-bye to our loved ones
It was Devin Galaudets job to take the ashes and pour them into the waters of Cadiz, Spain after his fathers death. Carrying them across Spain by car, train, and backpack, this was their swan song, their buddy picture come to life. Half a mile from the Mediterranean, though, Devin lost his fathers ashes. Standing in the middle of a windy cobblestone street in Old Town Cadiz, he wondered what the hell just happenednot just in that moment, but the forty years prior.
This is a wild-eyed history of secret family stories that includes fifty stolen cars, sacred African fertility dolls, a Darth Vader maskwearing junkie, a mysterious secret family, a Playboy magazine found in a sewer hidden next to toilet paper wrapped downers, a Vegas hooker with one impressive breast, a heros journey, and traveling across the world with a black jug that contained his father in a rolling suitcase.
A wickedly funny memoir that is part adventure and part tender reminiscence, 10,000 Miles with My Dead Fathers Ashes will make you laugh, cry, and yearn for your own Spanish adventure. See more
