"Lars Eighner is the Thoreau of the Dumpsters. Comparisons to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Hamsun's Hunger leap to mind. A classic of down-and-out literature." --Phillip Lopate
When Travels with Lizbeth was first published in 1993, it was proclaimed an instant classic. Lars Eighner's account of his descent into homelessness and his adventures on the streets has moved, charmed, and amused generations of readers. As Lars wrote, "When I began writing this account I was living under a shower curtain in a stand of bamboo in a public park. I did not undertake to write about homelessness, but wrote what I knew, as an artist paints a still life, not because he is especially fond of fruit, but because the subject is readily at hand."
Containing the widely anthologized essay "On Dumpster Diving," Travels with Lizbeth is a beautifully written account of one man's experience of homelessness, a story of physical survival, and the triumph of the artistic spirit in the face of enormous adversity. In his unique voice--dry, disciplined, poignant, comic--Eighner celebrates the companionship of his dog, Lizbeth, and recounts their ongoing struggle to survive on the streets of Austin, Texas, and hitchhiking along the highways to Southern California and back.

Описание: Alaska is famous for many things--the Aurora Borealis, lofty snow-capped mountain ranges, devastating earthquakes, the Iditarod, and even bizarre reality tv. Another not-so-well kept secret is the incredible fishing that takes place in remote locations across the state. Trustworthy Liars is a fishing memoir, but more than that it is about the friendships that develop over a quarter-century of adventures as three lifelong friends get together each summer for 10-12 days of non-stop unguided fishing and exploring the lakes and rivers of southwest Alaska near Bristol Bay. This is not necessarily a guidebook to successful fishing. In fact, many of the stories illustrate the pitfalls of headstrong individuals who rely on their own devices for adventure and success. As the title implies, the stories are often humorous accounts of what happens when one-up-man-ship becomes the not-so-hidden agenda. The often overlooked and sometimes mundane details of survival are illustrated in a number of stories including the perils of flying in a small plane and avoiding bears who fish the same waters. But in the end, it is a collection of stories of men who are true friends.
