Description: Claude has lived as an artist, perennial student, underground doctor, philanthropist, homeless person, inventor, and entrepreneur. This intimate portrait of Claude Debs, an orphaned survivor of child sexual abuse turned fiercely independent citizen of the world, follows Claude's pilgrimage from the Middle East to France, Russia, and America.

It traverses riotous experiences and offers heretical and searing observations on hyper-sexuality, marriage, lying, friendship, the art of alchemy, and hard-fought living.
