by Philip Owens (Author)

In the cafés and rented rooms of interwar Europe, a restless young Englishman drifts among painters, poets, wanderers, and lovers, chasing art, freedom, and the glamour of a life lived on the edge. From Berlin's smoky bohemian circles to the hard roads south and the hungry brilliance of Paris, Hobohemians follows a world of failed schemes, shifting loyalties and dangerous illusions.

By turns witty, raw and melancholy, this forgotten 1930s novella captures the fever of youth without money, the seduction of artistic life and the loneliness that shadows both. Peopled by expatriates, hustlers, dreamers and survivors, Hobohemians is a vivid portrait of a lost generation trying to make beauty out of uncertainty.
