Sojourner to Stoner: The Journal - Paperback
by Gordon Schwerzmann (Author)
Sojourner to Stoner: The Journal" is my record of Southeast Asia in the 1970s. I spent over a year as an officer in the U.S. Army in South Korea and close to two years travelling throughout Asia, first as a backpacker and later as a Hippie (yippee-ki-yay or more appropriately, hippie-ki-yay).
This Journal (YING) is a companion piece to my photography books surprisingly also called "Sojourner to Stoner. The Photographs" (YANG) (You must buy the two books together: otherwise. the Universe will be out of balance and there will be chaos everywhere. or as Bill Murray quipped, "Cats and Dogs sleeping together").

Western culture and the traditional way of life are all fighting for the Soul of Asia, This is my vision of Asia, a bright (albeit smokey) beam of fight from a star that has already vanished.
