Description
Vacationland: True Stories from Painful Beaches
A poignant and sincere account of one man facing his forties, John Hodgman shares his real-life wanderings through three wildernesses: the hills of Western Massachusetts, the painful beaches of Maine, and the metaphoric haunted forest of middle age.
Through these stories, Hodgman reveals the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache, and offers advice on how to react when encountering the people of coastal Maine. A wildly funny and honest book that explores the challenges of growing older and finding one's place in the world.
