Other editions of book George: The Lost Year

Homer's Odyssey veers off course and crashes into the seamy underworld of the turbulent sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this dark comedy George drives a load of marijuana from Austin to Chicago. When he arrives, he is supposed to marry a girl he's never met in order to avert a mob war. He runs afoul of police and a deranged cowboy, discusses the meaning of life with a junkie, and meets three beautiful women and a Cherokee Indian. Meanwhile, his enemy is plotting to kill him at a hippie commune.
