What is love? This means “death got a knee in the ass, life rushes along, flapping its wings; Christmas has come, heaven on earth, everyone is singing and dancing, the river is laughing, the ocean is overflowing with happiness, the wind greets everyone with kisses, the sky has opened its arms, the trees are dancing with joy, the stone is humming protractedly, the night is leaving with a gentle whisper - a clear day is coming.” In order to understand this simple truth, Wesley Jackson, a nineteen-year-old guy from San Francisco, had to travel halfway around the world and experience so many things that would be more than enough for ten. “The Adventures of Wesley Jackson” is one of the best novels of the master, whose name ranks with such titans of world literature as Faulkner, Steinbeck, Hemingway.
