Synopsis

When Allan Weisbecker penned the last sentence of In Search of Captain Zero, most readers assumed the full scope of the tale had been told. But apparently, life had other plans. In his latest offering, Can't You Get Along With Anyone? A Writer's Memoir and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise, Weisbecker chronicles the bizarre and convoluted circumstances that drove him from his adopted home in Costa Rica.

Review:

With In Search of Captain Zero and now Can't You Get Along With Anyone? I believe Allan Weisbecker is the greatest memoirist of our time. --Mary Sands, Jack Magazine

If you're looking for Hunter S. T's and Kerouac's lost cousin, look no further. In terms of brass balls and lunatic schemes filled with desperadoes, delusions, and dirt roads, Weisbecker goes toe-to-toe with Neal Cassidy/Dean Moriarity any day. --Jay Sweet, Paste Magazine

As his sanity, health and existence are simultaneously mangled, Weisbecker somehow manages to solve a murder, wrestle the dark side of paradise, and wind up on multiple third world hit lists...Can't You Get Along With Anyone? is a necessity for anyone who believes truth is indeed stranger than fiction...and entrancing, thoughtful and darkly humorous calamity. --Surfer Magazine
