About this product
Product Information
On the Wagon is a young recovering alcoholic's quest to find the true meaning of freedom by following the route of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, one of the most abiding expressions of freedom in popular culture. Setting off from Australia with little more than faith in the contacts he'll likely make at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, Lennox Nicholson finds out what it's like to follow in the footsteps of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty - but sober. Along the way, he discusses ideas and interpretations of freedom with everyone he meets, from a man on the bus who's just got out of jail in Jersey to an Indigenous Australian who wows a crowd of 50,000 people at a global AA conference in Atlanta. Nicholson compares his own experiences of excess, indulgence and freedom to that celebrated by the Beat writers, and explores what the chalk-and-cheese forces of Beat and AA might possibly have to learn from one another.Product Identifiers

Inspirational!!
I have just finished this book and can say I found it most enlightening !! Congratulations to Lennox on getting his life back together and if this book helps one other person grappling with a drinking or drug problem (or both) it will have been worth all the hard work and dedication the author and all those involved have put into it ! Thank God for AA. A marvellous group of individuals! I also enjoyed the "Trip across America" which I could never afford...........even on a shoestring as Lennox and Jimmy did. Also includes some interesting photos. All in all......a thoroughly enjoyable read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
