About the Book

The Big Diogenes

Ray Darwin is a disciple of Jeffrey Lebowski and an ordained minister in the Church of the Latter Day Dude. With his two sidekicks John and Rog, he convinces retired British rock star, Alex Watt, to write a theme track to promote Dudeism and The Tao of the Dude as the faith best able to inspire the revolutionary change needed to save humanity from the global climate crisis. Accompanying them on back-up are Liz Watt, former London stage actor and wife of Alex; Little Diogenes a blind, anti-social dog; and The Pisser, AKA: Ape, Apeman, Apemanus, Manus, or Big Diogenes, a homeless, misanthropic philosopher of the Greek Cynic tradition. Will it end well? Possibly not. But there will be music, intoxication, and frank exchanges of views.

Flying across the continent from the west coast to the east, in effect travelling four hours into the future, he passes instead into a world where past, present, and future are all cast into doubt.
