R. A. Dalkey

Never Drive A Hatchback To Austria (And Other Valuable Life Lessons) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

If being a grown-up were as simple as holding down a job, buying a reliable car, finding your dream home and living happily ever after, there'd be no need for this true story. But our mid-thirties author's unorthodox approach and complete failure to accept the world as defined by adults was never going to make it quite so straightforward - especially when Brexit threw a spanner in the works.

Set against the backdrop of his ever-swelling grumpiness and the growing realization that he might never actually become a millionaire, this book follows him and his trusty hatchback as they travel from England to Vienna, seizing the chance to live in Europe before it got closed to Brits forever. It's a journey that takes him to Cyprus and Venice, Slovenia and Surrey, Belgium and Bonn.

Autorenporträt

R.A.Dalkey (nom de plume) was born in Cape Town, holds British citizenship and now lives halfway up a steep, wooded incline on the edge of Vienna. Since growing up in the euphoria of post-Apartheid South Africa and settling (Brexit-permitting...) in Austria at 35, he's lived in the USA, Australia and the UK.

An incorrigible dreamer, he's driven outback trucks in Australia, spent two years trying to be a professional golfer and slept rough everywhere from Monte Carlo to Siberia, visiting over 70 countries along the way. Including Ireland, where he cracked up every time he rode the DART train past Dalkey, and an author name was born.

As for the occasional bout of work, he's known to do his fair share of editing magazines and writing. His words have been published by GQ, Reader's Digest, The Sunday Times, Australian International Traveller, Reuters and Sports Illustrated, to name just a handful.
