Presidential Material: Messianic Memoirs of a Midlife Crisis

Presidential Material: Messianic Memoirs of a Midlife Crisis doles out the intimate, indefatigable memoirs of Kermit D. Vincent, an idealistic, wacky, and unconventional bag-a-bones, in an invariably invaluable, wet-your-pants witty, cool, confident, and continually candid, manner. Kermit's reminiscences spew forth a narrative of no-holds-barred proportion; memories of growing up an only child in a paternally binge-drinking, maternally born-again, small town U.S.A. household; remembrances of growing up further, post adolescence, when confronted with the magically delicious "devilish enticements" of the big city; confessions of run-ins with the law, and know it all too well commentary on the prevalent prejudices, and pansy-ass practices, of U.S. jurisprudence, and correctional facilities; reflections on irrational, yet irresistible, interpersonal relationships, and fatally flawed fatherhood, through bittersweet revelations of unrequited love; contrite acknowledgments of a man stunned, now and again, by the error of his ways, at those times of cosmic comeuppance, when he would be rendered speechless, disgusted with himself, beset by guilt, wracked with remorse, and absolutely heartbroken, and how he persevered; recollections of his decade-long 'round-the-world odyssey as a street-publicly supported, modern-day wandering minstrel; offerings of hopes, and dreams, and far out there things he's seen; as well as explanations as to the motivations for his foray into presidential campaigning, and his plans for the future. Kermit's soul-searching chronicle of his eclectic, comically cantankerous life journey thus far, wrought with vivid, and at times outlandish, images, of his ubiquitous experiences, has coalesced a text alarmingly amusing, dyed-in-the-wool diverse, interculturally introspective, in the end encouraging, and altogether enlightening. If you only read one book this lifetime, make it this one. You won't be sorry. It's a wild ride!
