Sean Condon has moved to Amsterdam, he's married, and he and his wife are unemployed. As he explores the strange habits of the Dutch and tries to avoid being deported, Sean also keeps a wonderfully self-deprecating eye on the strange business of writing about yourself and the absurdities of everyday life.

Pop-culture junkie and self-described Americaphile Sean Condon, along with his calm friend David, set out on a journey from New York to San Francisco. Along the way Sean investigates the legendary people, places, and TV programs that sustained him through his difficult pre-pubescent years. Will he survive the channel-switching, the miles of highway, the country & western radio station, and the all-you-can-eat fast-food joints? Sean behaves unwisely and risks several ironic remarks in this very funny take on life in the United States.
Sean & David's Long Drive

Sean Condon is a 29-year-old city boy and a connoisseur of hair wax. He can't drive, and he doesn't really travel well. So when Sean and his friend David set out to explore Australia in a 1966 Ford Falcon, the result is a decidedly off-beat look at life on the road. Over 14,000 death-defying kilometres, our heroes check out the re-runs on TV, get fabulously drunk (again), listen to Neil Young (again) and wonder why they ever left home. Read it out loud.
