Popeye: A Memoir of a Cultural Barbarian

POPEYE: A MEMOIR OF A CULTURAL BARBARIAN, dubbed "Forest Gump meets Jack Kerouac," chronicles Tom Hickey's colorful life and growing struggles with alcohol addiction, mental health, and numerous suicide attempts.
From his Irish Catholic Midwestern upbringing, raucous college years, European cultural barbarianism, life in Poland
behind the Iron Curtain, raising a family out West, and the Great Recession, to his current mental health issues,
addictions, and homelessness, POPEYE is a page-turner. Not intended to cure or caution, POPEYE merely tells the
tale of one man's life in his own words as if he were sitting on the stool next to you.
