Pulitzer Prize winner William Finnegan catches the essence of the perfect wave in his New York Times bestselling memoir. Starting with his childhood, Finnegan sets the tone for a life of surfing, beginning with catching waves in California and Hawaii. As an adult, Finnegan roamed the world with a friend, searching for the next wave. Great waves could be found around Australia, the South Pacific, Asia, and Africa. His adventures also brought him right here — to Ventura!
Barbarian Days provides readers the opportunity to tour the world, one wave at a time.
