As an Artist, writer, scholar, mystic, athlete, cowboy, craftsman, voluptuary, martial arts enthusiast, and psychedelic pioneer, Joe Kemp embarks on many foreign adventures, finding stalwart comrades and encountering willing female companions along the way. This is a story spanning continents and populated by a panoply of unforgettable characters, depicted with affection and sly humor.
