Insuring that his 99.6-year-old mother has a bouquet of colorful flowers before he heads from Redding, CA, to two literary gigs in San Francisco.
The Idiot checks the latest flower delivery to his 99.6-year-old mother before heading to San Francisco for a radio interview and an appearance at the Sausalito Library. He’ll use a 175-photograph slideshow as a backdrop to his discussion of the genesis, evolution and execution of his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea and his trilogy of The Idiot and the Odyssey travel narratives.
Sausalito Library, Thursday, June 6, 7 pm.
About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
