Synopsis:
Motorcycle Enlightenment
From the Inside Flap: Alan Pierce--in his forties, divorced, clueless, a bit neurotic, without a job--can't find his way across the street without getting lost, it seems. The only thing Pierce knows for certain is where to find really good pizza on the Ocean City, New Jersey, boardwalk--and that's as far as he gets in his "cross-country motorcycle odyssey" in search of enlightenment. He ditches the idea of traveling to the West Coast (he can't find it), sells his motorcycle (he gets leg cramps), and digs in where he finds himself. As he searches for inner peace and self-understanding, his life becomes a paradoxical study of indirection: he goes by not going, he bikes by selling his bike.
Following his "doughnut" wisdom, Alan calms down, relaxes his mind, and learns to meditate, all the while observing himself with the bemused and sometimes startled fascination of an anthropologist. Quirky, clever, and somehow actually instructive, "Motorcycle Enlighenment" is a stand-up comic's take on adventure along the spiritual path.
