When he was just four years old, Rene Paul de la Varre earned the
nickname "schling," meaning rascal in his native German language.
He admits to having a wild side from a young age and spending much
of his life like a wandering nomad in the quest for knowledge and
adventure.
This memoir retraces Rene's footsteps through America, Europe,
the Mediterranean, and the Middle East over the course of fifty
years. His journey pays particular tribute to his relationship with
his father, referred to as Pop-a talented filmmaker, pianist, and
writer. Rene candidly discusses coming to grips with his father's
slow descent into alcoholism, a disease that eventually played a
role in Pop's untimely death. Part memoir and part travelogue,
"Like Pop, Like Schling" is at times tragic, adventurous, and
nostalgic. It is ultimately a story of hope as Rene encourages
those struggling with substance abuse to have the mettle to change
their lives and to conquer their demons before the demons conquer
them.
