Vagabond Freak: Book One Of:The 7 Lives of the Punk Poofy Cat

Follow Arthur's growing pains in Australia, from the post-war, shell-shocked slums and wilderness taming urban wastelands of the 1950s, to the teenage rock clubs, gay beats and psyche wards of the 1960s. While the politics of the times swirl around like a tornado you can hit the road with him on his picaresque travails seeking Big Babas, psychedelic breakthroughs and grand cinemas in India of the 1970's. Then, running from his shadow, hitching up to Afghanistan, across to Greece, doing battle with his fixation on "the phallus" in the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete, seeking enlightenment, finding only humanity. Inspired by Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn", George Johnston's "MY Brother Jack", John Rechy's "Sexual Outlaw", Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums", Herman Hesse's "Siddartha", Rudyard Kipling's "Kim" and Cleo Odzer's "Goa Freaks", Toby Zoates dared write "Vagabond Freak"
