His traveling companion and bosom buddy is on his own quest to become an Olympic-class racewalker. Caught between the counterculture and the cold cruel world, they make their way by relying on each other's friendship -- along with a steady stream of bong hits and Grateful Dead songs. A funny, heartfelt, honest tale whose voice has its roots in the works of writers like Salinger, Kerouac and Vonnegut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45501291888791,"sku":"9781091572584","price":926.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781091572584.webp?v=1767922934","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-fire-and-the-rose-9781091572584","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
