The Pan-American "Huckleberry Finn" for the Twenty-first Century, a memoir of the young author's struggle with two realities, one Anglo-Saxon and the other Hispanic. In this picaresque "coming-of-age" memoir, we see a vision of North America's future in twenty-five years, when the Hispanic minority becomes the largest minority, and changes not only the demographics of America, but its culture.

Produktbeschreibung
The Pan-American "Huckleberry Finn" for the Twenty-first Century, a memoir of the young author's struggle with two realities, one Anglo-Saxon and the other Hispanic. In this picaresque "coming-of-age" memoir, we see a vision of North America's future in twenty-five years, when the Hispanic minority becomes the largest minority, and changes not only the demographics of America, but its culture. The author sweeps us along on a whirlwind of culture shock as he chronicles the adventures of a disgruntled industrial-age young man who feels a tribal and instinctual reluctance to accept the Third World's view of the US and its foreign policy. With Guatemala on the brink of war with Belice, before he can assimilate this alternative language, culture, and reality, along comes a new relationship and an earthquake that stops the war with the deaths of twenty two thousand people.

Autorenporträt
His college professors said "Young people have little of importance to say. Go live life, explore, ask questions, before you try to create art." Mr. Plimsoll dove into Latin America (and learned Spanish - his favorite author received the 2010 Nobel Prize for Literature) and interprets the complexities of distinct worldviews, linguistic and personal. He has written two memoirs, "WMD Machete- A Global Citizen's coming of age in a Forgotten Earthquake that Killed Twenty-two Thousand," and "Havana Ball- North American Philanthropy in Culture Clash."
He also wrote the novel "Godless Goddess, a Wiccan Adventure in Hawaii." In 2009, he wrote, performed, produced, and published a CD-ROM musical multimedia audiobook, or radiodrama, titled "Cell U.R." about the future of humanity with nanotechnology cell-phone implants in twenty-three half-hour podcasts.
Recently, he published "Cell U.R. Tales from the Script" in book form, the script plus lyrics to the podcasts.
