‘Further On Down the Road’ with Terry Tarnoff & Phil Cousineau
Join us for a reading, book signing, and short video presentation with Terry Tarnoff, author of The Reflectionist, with special guest Phil Cousineau
It was a different time in a different world. Terry Tarnoff spent eight years during the 1970s traveling throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. It was the early days of exploring what were to become legendary spots on the traveler’s trail. Whether playing the clubs of Amsterdam, skirting the Yakuza in Japan, surviving the winters of Kathmandu, or forming a band in Goa, India, Terry’s adventures are alternately engrossing, hilarious and deeply moving.
The Reflectionist is Tarnoff’s long-awaited follow-up to The Bone Man of Benares, a highly acclaimed book and play that told the first half of the story. The Reflectionist continues the tale, adding new meaning as it looks back from the perspective of modern times upon a period that continues to fascinate people of all generations across the globe.
Terry Tarnoff is the author of The Thousand Year Journey of Tobias Parker and The Chronicle of Stolen Dreams. The Reflectionist is his latest book; the sequel to The Bone Man of Benares. He lives in North Beach, San Francisco. terrytarnoff.com
