Book Review

“The late, acclaimed portraitist, William Sawicki, as part of his memoirs, wrote a realistic account of his journey along with a friend, to replicate the legendary journey of Mark Twain's Huck Finn. Like Twain's novel, Sawicki's memoir contains

 suspense,

      uncertainty,

            tension,

                adventure,

                     mystery,

                          aggravation and

                               colorful, eccentric characters.

It is unique as a portrait of the mid-1960s, picaresque in its own right, and often gripping – proving reality can be both more problematic and stranger than fiction.”
