"Toward Campoluna" captures the romance and excitement of a unique
generation in a unique place. In 1955, lifeguard and surf bum Corky
McCork and his bighearted artist friend, Reebar Tornay, hit the
road for some adventure. When they come to the aid of barefoot and
bleeding Eliomara Vasquez, the three become interlinked in an
international adventure that lasts a lifetime.
The men help the feisty Eliomara to escape the border patrol
authorities who want to send her back to Mexico, and then Corky,
Reebar, and Eliomara continue on to individual journeys, facing
countless dangers and challenges, before their lives again
intersect, many years later, in a joint quest for meaning, purpose,
and peace.
The three come back together, this time joined by Lumina, the
beautiful Bulgarian eccentric; Tireseo, the blind
poet-revolutionary; Sylvia, the enigmatic spy; and Pulo, the
breeder of fighting cocks; to form Campoluna, a rugged artists'
colony in rural Mexico.
Meant to be a haven in the face of a drastically changing world
and the Vietnam War, Campoluna becomes a test of the precarious
balance between the magnificent loneliness of individuality and the
arduous pleasure of human bonds, as well as a testament to the
power of collectively embracing life with vigor and hope.
"Vivid characters, an overwhelming plot, strong passions,
defeats and hopes and longing, compassion and loneliness.this is
literature." -Edvard Hoem, author of "Ave Eva" and The Ferry
Crossing"
