The Land of Debris and the Home of Alfredo

A whimsical and funny novel about a fellow who has amnesia and endures a series of bizarre adventures as he searches for his life. His only clue is a telephone number, but when he calls it he gets a distorted message that sounds like this: "The number you have reached, the land of debris and the home of alfredo is not in service at this time..." This book has been especially popular with high school and college students, as well as older readers who appreciate a freewheeling sense of humor, a dash of the absurd and a sense of magic propelling us through our lives. Amdahl's style has been compared to Richard Brautigan and Tom Robbins. One young reader described this book as "a Catcher In the Rye for the new millenium." Another said it was "Candide with a bad case of the giggles."
