Daveland
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
When the author was nine, his teacher thought he was “retarded” and sentenced him to a corner of the gym with a stout woman and a pile of flash-cards. Eventually this so-called retarded kid completed a doctorate, conducted research with an MIT consortium, and was hired to consult for an iconic American corporation. Oops!
As an adult, he learned that he suffered from learning and neurological problems with so many names he just called them all “Dave.” And, he also learned that the world preferred Dave stay hidden.
Daveland is a darkly humorous memoir written like a novel about a man who leaves everything to write and travel. He thought he would chase a little Spanish and tango, only to find that something was chasing him. Welcome to Daveland.
