Local Author Book Talk: Louis Salome
October 30, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us on Wednesday, October 30 at 6 PM to hear local author Louis Salome discuss his book Two Hundred Miles from Baghdad: Cultures, Conflicts and the Lost Art of Hitchhiking.
In September 1958, Salome hurried past Barney McNeil’s blacksmith shop to the town’s blinking traffic light and began hitchhiking to college. He was seventeen. Decades later his hitching experience led Salome through deserts and hostile zones in Asia, Europe, and Africa. At the end of his internationalist life, he thumbed in the New Hampshire woods to gauge how times had changed.
Two Hundred Miles from Baghdad is the story of the adventures, risks, and the fun Salome embraced while engaging in a lost art. His book can be purchased here: https://riverrunbookstore.com/book/9781958669303
