The Pseudo American, Paperback

The Pseudo American, or volume II to The Unlikely Yank, picks up where volume I ended.

John's Tiananmen Square brought him unwanted notoriety but also afforded him a novel story to entertain his future tour groups.

In volume II the young and fearless tour guide volunteered to return to China in September, 1989, merely three months after he extracted his group out of the turbulent land under the dark shroud of nationwide lockdown.

Readers will once again enjoy the front row seat on John's tour bus as he entertained a chance encounter in the California desert that extended beyond the Atlantic to the European continent.

Read how the flamboyant "Johnny Tour Guide" gradually lost fervor for the road, and how a young woman he met at the Museum Of Contemporary Art would eventually change his life.

The Pseudo American details John's continuous struggle and attempts to fit into what he dubbed "Main Stream America". With every financial struggle, he learned to adapt and overcome. With each cultural misstep, The Unlikely Yank moved a step closer to reaching his desired Americanism.

Volume II makes numerous references to volume I while setting up stages for volume III, the finale of the three-volume series.

From his Jamaica adventures to building Joie Express; from facing social rejection at his first international tourism convention to making a cultural blunder at his first Russian conference...follow The Unlikely Yank through the ups and downs of his life and how he bid farewell to his beloved quest for the arts.

Edik looked at me and asked: "Have you ever been to Russia, John?"
