An Obese White Gentleman in No Apparent Distress
An Obese White Gentleman in No Apparent Distress. By: Riki Moss with Terry Dobson.
Based on the life of unconventional aikido master Terry Dobson, this novel by his partner Riki Moss is the story of two souls meeting. In the tumultuoussixties, a desperate young man's life is saved through his discovery of aikido. Now, twenty five years later, he returns to the wreckage of his ancestral home, worn in body and spirit. He ponders suicide, but a wild accident brings an unexpected spiritual romance into his life.
Equally profound and entertaining, the story is told through two interwoven timelines: one drawn from Dobson's own recorded memoirs, tracks his youthful odyssey through New York City, Japan and Vermont; the other traces the unfolding relationship of his final years. The cast features a memorable assortment of seekers and gurus (real and fictional), spiritual dogs, performance artists, martial arts masters, New Age healers, quirky parents, old lovers, counterculture celebrities, and the protagonist's own insightful renegade spirit.
