Forgotten Satoris Don't Count

This book, a forty-two-year-long life journey, delivered in thirty-two chapters takes you across the country and around the world with a man seeking answers to the age old questions about the meaning of existence.

The author’s life is presented chronologically in concise views that are not just personal but tied to the context of the changing times. As it demonstrates a life evolving it also illustrates the environment that informs that evolution. The book takes you from an idyllic childhood on the Jersey Shore in the late 40’s and early 50’s; through the protest days of the 60’s in Berkeley and the S.F. Bay Area counterculture revolution of the 70’s-80’s; to the day after the San Francisco Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. Vincent Lynch has led his life always as an artist, albeit often in different media with different results. His life as a journey is representative of the times in which he lived, fragmented and in constant change but always from a singular point of view. Whichever role he is playing, it is always executed with the same focused dedication and with the layman’s open acceptance of the unexpected.
