About This Item
Boston and Tokyo: Journey Editions, 1995. Cloth, 647 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. SIGNED and inscribed by the author on the title page: "Peace, David Carradine, 6/28/03" with a yin yang symbol. First printing, age toning. Stated First edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "Endless Highway provides a raucous ride down the road that has been David Carradine's life. The son of a world-renowned Shakespearean actor, Carradine's early years were spent being shuttled from mother to estranged father to relative to boarding school to reformatory. Spontaneity, quick-wittedness, and ingenuousness were his guideposts in life, and he quickly learned that creativity was survival. The fifties found him in San Francisco among the original members that spawned the Beat Generation, and his path through the drug-flooded sixties and seventies ultimately led him to 'Kung Fu,' the show that helped launch an Eastern spiritual philosophy into Western culture. Writing with warmth, humor, and tremendous insight, Carradine provides an honest and in-depth look at his life. Had Holden Caulfield grown up, met Hunter S. Thompson, gone on the road with Jack Kerouac, and finally studied with Master Po - well, perhaps that would embrace the spirit of Carradine's own writing style. He has been, in his own words, fraud, genius, holy man, movie star, martyr, monster, fool, hero, whore, neurotic, poet, burnout, beauty, beast - but always a legend." - Publisher.. SIGNED. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
