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.Containing the widely anthologized essay On Dumpster Diving, Travels with Lizbeth is a beautifully written account of one mans experience of homelessness, a story of physical survival, and the triumph of the artistic spirit in the face of enormous adversity. In his unique voicedry, disciplined, poignant, comicEighner 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.Lars Eighner is the Thoreau of the Dumpsters. Comparisons to Defoes Robinson Crusoe and Hamsuns Hunger leap to mind. A classic of down-and-out literature.Phillip Lopate, author of Bachelorhood: Tales of the MetropolisEighners memoir contains the finest first-person writing we have about the experience of being homeless in America. Yet its not a dirge or a Bukowski-like scratching of the groin but an offbeat and plaintive hymn to life. Its the sort of book that releases the emergency brake on your soulA literate and exceedingly humane document.The New York Times...2520444Travels with Lizbeth202247https://www.gandhi.com.mx/travels-with-lizbeth-9781466836440/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3076983/8f118c26-1f84-43d8-8879-34a15b698b1a.jpg?v=638384848727930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139781466836440_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_A New York Times Book Review Editors Choice, Travels with Lizbeth: Three Years on the Road and on the Streets is Lars Eighners account of his descent into homelessness and his adventures on the streets that has moved, charmed, and amused generations of readers.Selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 YearsWhen I began writing this account I was living under a shower curtain in a stand of bamboo in a public park.
