The Happiest Man in the World

Poppa Neutrino is a philosopher of movement, a vernacular Buddhist, a San Francisco bohemian, a polymath, a pauper, a football strategist for the Red Mesa Redskins of the Navajo Nation, and a mariner who built a raft from materials he found on the streets of New York and sailed across the North Atlantic. And he is possibly the happiest man in the world.

This is a rare and compelling book in which nearly every page contains an implausible, outrageous and exhilarating adventure.

Strange, wonderful, funny, weird, and totally engaging - and, like all of Wilkinson's work, simply beautiful

Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief
