I did not undertake to write about homelessness, but wrote what I knew, as an artist paints a still life, not because he is especially fond of fruit, but because the subject is readily at hand." nContaining the widely anthologized essay "On Dumpster Diving," Travels with Lizbeth is a beautifully written account of one man's experience of homelessness, a story of physical survival, and the triumph of the artistic spirit in the face of enormous adversity. In his unique voice—dry, disciplined, poignant, comic—Eighner celebrates the companionship of his dog, Lizbeth, and recounts their ongoing struggle to survive on the streets of Austin, Texas, and hitchhiking along the highways to Southern California and back. n"Lars Eighner is the Thoreau of the Dumpsters. Comparisons to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Hamsun's Hunger leap to mind. A classic of down-and-out literature."—Phillip Lopate, author of Bachelorhood: Tales of the Metropolis n"Eighner's memoir contains the finest first-person writing we have about the experience of being homeless in America. Yet it's not a dirge or a Bukowski-like scratching of the groin but an offbeat and plaintive hymn to life. It's the sort of book that releases the emergency brake on your soul…A literate and exceedingly humane document."— The New York Timesn2520444Travels with Lizbeth242314https://www.gandhi.com.mx/travels-with-lizbeth-9781466836440/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3076983/8f118c26-1f84-43d8-8879-34a15b698b1a.jpg?v=638962004250430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781466836440_W3siaWQiOiI0NWMzYTk2Ny1kOGU2LTRiYmEtOTkyOC0zZWJjMTdlMTk0NjMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMxNCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjcyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI0MiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMTZUMDc6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781466836440_A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice, Travels with Lizbeth: Three Years on the Road and on the Streets is Lars Eighner's account of his descent into homelessness and his adventures on the streets that has moved, charmed, and amused generations of readers. nSelected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years n"When I began writing this account I was living under a shower curtain in a stand of bamboo in a public park.
