The Undiscovered Country

The Undiscovered Country, the second part of Stan Erisman's autobiographical six part book series called Hindsights, begins where Natural Shocks left off: with Norm and Stan's bus ride across the American West, from Chicago to San Francisco in June 1964. Unlike Norm, Stan has to struggle to make a clean break with his upbringing as a Fundamentalist Christian. But both young men revel in their new-found freedom, while meeting the challenges of finding jobs, housing and companionship in a totally new environment- and drifting apart.
