What Does The Idiot Do During A Literary Weekend In California?

What did The Idiot do during a literary weekend that took him from Northern California through San Francisco and Big Sur to Los Angeles?

He made an appearance at a Writers Forum monthly meeting and visited the library in Redding, discussed The Idiot and the Odyssey book trilogy at a Barnes & Noble store near San Francisco, put his three volumes in the window of a bookstore in Carmel, dropped off copies at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur and watched an author get a haircut in Morro Bay.

The Idiot had a Saturday afternoon meeting at the Redding Library where he’ll discuss The Idiot and the Odyssey trilogy on March 2 from 3-5 p.m. He’s asked that the “homeless” population congregating around the library be invited to his talk in the Community Room.

Watching author Jeff Wheelwright get a haircut in Morro Bay before the two discussed their next literary/film projects during lunch. Jeff is going to follow Herman Melville’s footsteps in Palestine and The Idiot is in LA to, among other things, discuss a documentary about his twenty year walk around the Mediterranean Sea.

This week The Idiot will be discussing a number of film projects in Hollywood and will visit bookstores throughout Los Angeles and in Pasadena to promote The Idiot and the Odyssey trilogy. On foot.
