Chasing Dean: Surfing America's Hurricane States
"Surfing is finally getting the literary tradition it deserves. . . . Anderson's sharp and witty style, allied with a poignant exploration of the nature of friendship, takes his second book into contemporary Kerouac territory."  —Times"There is a dark side to surfing as Tom Anderson brilliantly conveys . . . seemingly random surf dude conversations about love and death and the state of the atmosphere play out a philosophical debate between hedonism and seriousness, science and soul."  —Daily Telegraph"This is a highly enjoyable book. Sure, it’s about surfing, but you don’t have to be a surfer—you don’t even need even to have seen the ocean—to get caught up in its spirit of adventure, conquest, and relentless optimism...It’s absolutely impossible not to love this book."—Booklist"Even if you're not a surfer, it's absolutely impossible not to get caught up in this book's wacky spirit of adventure."  —Booklist
