About This Book

This book encompasses my true decade-long experience living in Bali and greater Indonesia. The Names changed and dialogue recreated to capture the essence of the moment.

How to Drink Yourself to Death in Bali is a holding nothing back account of my expat life. Pain, warmth, humor, and a bold statement on how being crazy in a sick society is healthy. 10 true stories patch together dreamscape. Part elegy for the departed and for time itself.

How to Drink Yourself to Death in Bali also digs beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world. World-weary wisdom. Infuse such sunburned narrative as rock n’ roll. Shamanism, skateboarding on volcano rims, global settings, and underrepresented voices.

Set in reality. But explores something fantastical. Narratives with a surreal or subversive bent. Taken together. This collection comprises a mosaic of what it means to be alive as a whole person — Author.
