title: Can't You Get Along With Anyone?: A Writer's Memoir and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise
author: Allan Weisbecker
description: With In Search of Captain Zero and now Can't You Get Along With Anyone? I believe Allan Weisbecker is the greatest memoirist of our time. --Mary Sands, Jack Magazine<br /><br />If you're looking for Hunter S. T's and Kerouac's lost cousin, look no further. In terms of brass balls and lunatic schemes filled with desperadoes, delusions, and dirt roads, Weisbecker goes toe-to-toe with Neal Cassidy/Dean Moriarity any day. --Jay Sweet, Paste Magazine<br /><br />As his sanity, health and existence are simultaneously mangled, Weisbecker somehow manages to solve a murder, wrestle the dark side of paradise, and wind up on multiple third world hit lists...Can't You Get Along With Anyone? is a necessity for anyone who believes truth is indeed stranger than fiction...and entrancing, thoughtful and darkly humorous calamity. --Surfer Magazine
