Coach to Como

Autor Gary Troia
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The Coach to Como"Gary Troia is a writer, he has also been a bricklayer, a teacher, a philosophy student and a sufferer of several disorders, including: manic depression, alcoholism, fear of flying and a dislike of most people. After Gary announces that he will no longer fly, his wife, Poppo books a coach holiday to Lake Como. One week later, with the newly acquired kittens dropped off at the cattery, Gary and Poppo embark on a twenty-four hour coach journey to Italy."

Gary always believed the restless, relentless, impossible-to-satisfy voice in his head was one of his greatest assets. How else can you climb the ladder in an ultra-competitive field like writing except through nonstop hand-wringing and hyper vigilance? For a while, his strategy worked. What happened next was completely unforeseen. Through a bizarre series of events - involving gangsters, the ICF, deportation from the States, Christian cults and the AA - Gary stumbled upon something that helped him tame the voice in his head: Self-help books. He spent years reading them then had a quiet revolution. Gary's life was not transformed into a thing of beauty, but he did gain a passion for daily reflection and meditation. While the book itself is a narrative account of a journey to Lake Como the coach to Como is the story of survival, recovery and revelation. Though the book claims to be a travel memoir, it is essentially much more than that....the book is well crafted, with various threads being skilfully interwoven to give a colourful but incredibly honest account of the journey Gary has undertaken since he has come to terms with his ego, his internal struggles with life, loneliness, rebelliousness and self-destructive behaviour.Scroll up and grab a copy today.
