Last Stop Salina Cruz

Fleeing from the tedium of his everyday life and the painful memory of his deceased father, the narrator of Last Stop Salina embarks on a long solitary journey retracing the footsteps of real-life malcontent and misanthrope par excellence Arthur Cravan, the nephew of Oscar Wilde. As a lambasting critic, poet, boxer and Dadaist anti-hero, Cravan wreaked havoc on himself and three continents during the course of a short and spectacular life, which led him across the world in an escalating frenzy of self-destruction
Along the way, the young protagonist encounters every species of grotesque human character blighting Europe, the United States and South America, until he reaches the shores of the desolate oil town of Salina Cruz, the site of Cravans mysterious disappearance. Only there does the true purpose of his journey become at last apparent.
