Hitchhiking with Larry David

Description

A memoir about a broken-hearted, middle-aged man who stumbles upon solace, meaning, and Larry David while hitchhiking his way around Martha s Vineyard
One summer day on Martha s Vineyard Paul Samuel Dolman was hitchhiking, and none other than Larry David pulled over and asked, You re not a serial killer or something, are you? The comedic writer and actor from “Seinfeld “and” Curb Your Enthusiasm” not only gave Dolman a ride, but helped him find his way during his summer of soul-searching and hitchhiking.
Dolman found himself on Martha s Vineyard that summer having made the catastrophic mistake of visiting The Parental Asylum in the wake of a painful breakup. His mother is welcoming, albeit senile and neurotically rigid. But his dad only has the social energy to be nice to humans for about 10 minutes a day. Desperately seeking companionship, Dolman begins hitchhiking around the island and meets a wide array of characters: the super-rich and the homeless, movie stars and common folk, and, of course, Mr. David. Astonishingly, it is Dolman s growing friendship with the famous comedian that becomes the lodestar of his spiritual quest. (Yes, Larry David gets deep!)
Written with disarming honest humor and perfectly capturing Larry David s unique comic genius, “Hitchhiking with Larry David” will leave readers simultaneously laughing and crying as they ponder the mystery and spirituality of life.”
