In a country a lot like our own, in a time a little bit like now, Bibi Brown is an ordinary young man with an extraordinary destiny. So Bibi begins his quest--careening through a world of bizarre cults, gravity-defying crones, and lunatics of every stripe--all for a chance to meet his long-lost uncle Otto, a legendary junk-dealer who lives on the Hope Valley Hubcap Ranch. Bibi, the first male iFrom Publishers Weekly Murphy, a longtime practitioner of Zen, has distilled the open-minded adventurousness of his life's study into a quirky novel set in the future that is at once ingenious, exhilarating and pleasantly frustrating. Mothers kill children by giving birth to them"). Filled with clever literary references (one of Bibi's relatives is named Gregor Samson) and told in a decidedly intellectual style, this book has "future cult classic" written all over it.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. His odd sense of exploration and curiosity lead him to question everything around him, and as a young man he sets off across America on a journey that resembles one of Castaneda's acid-hazed travels. His journey from home to Hope Valley mirrors the spiritual journey of countless seekers in countless disciplines, and the finale, while cautionary, is also hopeful. Bibi is driven by a fascination with a nine-fingered billboard model and a mysterious uncle who
