Pressestimmen
"A road book complete with cute drawings and snippets of homegrown wisdom, this compact little volume reminds us of the wonder around us." -Trips "Price has an eye for detail and a way with life."-Tampa Weekly Planet"This is an unusual book in an unusual format, and well worth a look for its artwork, honesty, travel writing, and journaling techniques." -BookPage"An enchanting if disjointed journey... perfect for a stocking stuffer." -Knoxville News Sentinel
Kurzbeschreibung
Our favorite freewheelin' scribe Dan Price's inaugural collection of vagabond musings, HOW TO MAKE A JOURNAL OF YOUR LIFE, was such a hit that we could hardly wait to bring out THE MOONLIGHT CHRONICLES. Dan's Moonlight Chronicles zines have long been a cult favorite of art, travel writing, and outdoor enthusiasts. This full-color book version picks up where the zines left off, following Dan as he ambles through the cafes, alleyways, and skyscrapers of New York City; hits the trail for a five-day hike in Hell's Canyon; and wanders through the Sierras, in the footsteps of kindred soul John Muir. Dan's spirited language and charming pictures remind you of the small joys of life and the fact that happiness abounds, just waiting to be discovered along the highways and byways of America.

Regain Your Sense of Childlike Wonder
23. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I purchased both of the Dan Price books currently available, this one and the one called "How to Make a Journal of Your Life." I enjoyed both books very much and recommend them. They convey a childlike wonder in both the narrative and the drawings (some of which are quite good). There is a definite appeal to busy, responsibility-laden adults, who fantasize about chucking it all and taking-off for an adventurous life on the road. After reading these books, many will at least question whether they might simplify their lives in some way.
The neo-hippie, let's-go-out-and-play lifestyle is not without its cost, however. According to his website, the author has now split-up with his wife, who played such a large part in his first two books. And if his grown children have learned their lesson of independence . . . well, Dan may have plenty of solitude to enjoy in the future.
I hope that he is satisfied with what he calls in his Chronicles Creed an "endless" search for truth and beauty. The search can be quite enjoyable in itself. But if he actually wants to find ultimate truth and beauty, he may be frustrated. Since his method relies upon subjective experiences of nature and life, truth and beauty can be no bigger than his perceptions of them. Vestiges of truth and beauty in the natural world are a pleasing but ultimately unsatisfying taste of what we intuitively know is much bigger, much greater. It's like trying to be satisfied with the footprint of one's lover, rather than the actual person.
You might think from this that I don't like the book after all, but you'd be wrong. I like it even though it's not perfect. In fact, I plan to buy Dan Price's new book "Radical Simplicity" when it is published.

Buy this book!
19. November 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Even if you don't journal and have no intention of doing so, buy this little book and Dan's other one (How To Make A Journal of Your Life). Carry them around with you and read them over and over, and sink into the words and drawings. Then pay attention to your own life, each moment, whether you choose to document any of it or not.
