The Bahaca is the phonetic spelling of the Portuguese word for tent. In the Brazilian culture, it is pejorative meaning a temporary or nomadic dwelling. Motivated by a desire to give him a summer’s relief from an explosive domestic situation, the author’s older sister arranged for the teenager to visit her home in Senegal, West Africa, where he experienced an exotic, foreign culture for the first time. Being out in the world for the summer, expanded his education.
Upon returning to his Boston-area home in the fall, the author began sitting in the back of his seventh grade classroom sketching caricatures of his teachers, an enterprise that earned him Ds, Fs, and several trips to the principal’s office. The principal fancied himself a dashing figure, something of a Leonardo DiCaprio type. After seeing him in detention so many times, and knowing he would not stop drawing, the principal directed the young artist to draw a heroic portrait of the balding, paunchy administrator in order to get out of hot water. With this kind of positive reinforcement, the author was inspired to embark on a career that enabled him to travel to all fifty states and five continents, living off the land while seldom using a hotel room.
This book is about that odyssey from Cape Cod, through Vermont, Africa, South America, the USA, the arctic and the Grand Canyon. It is a moving, personal chronicle of romance, adventure and freedom experienced from the unconventional perspective of one of America's truly unique artists.
