My name is The Lonely Mystic. I've been known by other names and other faces. I'm on a quest to learn the answers to burning questions, such as which came first the Matzah ball or the chicken? Is sex really safe? Who is the Sandman? Do aliens exist? What happened millions of years ago in the solar system and who was sleeping with whom then? Do club soda bubbles affect brain cells? What to do in the midst of a bank robbery when you are caught holding the bag? These are some of the perplexities facing a time traveling, shape shifting, inter-dimensional and globe trotting Jewish boy from Brooklyn destined to save the world. Plus it is illustrated in color.Portraits of a Lonely Mystic consists of 80 illustrated chapters depicting adventures of The Lonely Mystic. You travel from Canarsie, Brooklyn to places like Tashkent, Tibet and Russia. You visit other dimensions and spiritual places on high. You journey to the subconscious, unconscious, super-conscious and sometimes even remain conscious, but there are no guarantees because this is an unbridled, dubious autobiography of a East New York boy with an unusual past and yet to be explored future.
