Our hero, Michael Brown, earlier seen in The Green Palmers Chronicle as a young boy and in Darwin’s Progress as a grown-up man, now retired, travels with guide and friend Isaiah through the Land of Vespucci, which invites travelers through its many provinces, each of which showcases different cultures and thoughts: some are bizarre, some adventurous, some inspiring, but all of them are always thought-provoking. Throughout his travel across 30 or so provinces, which produce these tales from Vespucci, Michael learns about humanity, his own as much as the Vespuccians themselves, which the author shares with the readers as a cautionary tale in this uniquely original and unforgettable collection of stories, reminiscent of classic Guliver’s Travels.
The author obtained his Ph.D. from UCLA in 1975 in sociology and is the author of 15 books of social criticism. One of his earlier books, The Dead End, appeared in TIME magazine in 1980 which called it “important and brilliant” for prophesying America’s consumer individualism as its eventual “national death wish.” After teaching sociology for the last 25 years at the U.S. military bases around the world, he retired from the University of Maryland in 2019 and is currently living in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
