Earth Hangs Heavy Beneath my Feet

A young man seeking love, money, and adventure instead finds a spiritual awakening. This is the story of Max Wiez, an artist-philosopher with insatiable wanderlust, and an intense disdain for anything superficial and dishonest. Frustrated with living in a cold technocracy, he leaves his country after being blacklisted from the teaching profession, and on a whim, changes his identity. Ironically he finds himself working as a scam artist in Prague, Manila, Bangkok, and Spain. Max's life becomes a Kafkaesque - and yet often humorous journey where notions about synchronicity and chance, beauty, truth, love, and the supernatural are examined, challenged, and turned on their head. Weaving an intricate tapestry of vignettes and dialogues with an eclectic cast of characters, the author tells the story of a nascent art dealer and gen-X rebel who discovers how to defy the force of gravity...at least in his heart. Adam Jagiellowicz is a Canadian-born author, educator, artist, and seeker. He enjoys discussing life's ironies and absurdities with imperfect strangers
