The Devil's Crossroads: Adventures and Musings Hitchhiking the Road of Life - Paperback

Life is nothing but a series of crossroads that continuously present us with one single existential question-where to next?

The Devil's Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi, is known as the location of blues legend Robert Leroy Johnson's bargain with the Devil, where Johnson sacrificed his soul to become the greatest bluesman the world has ever known. For Alexis Brunet, the famed crossroads became the source of inspiration for this literary work-a series of reflections on the many intersections that paved the way to where he stands today.

As mortal hitchhikers, these character-defining, life-altering crossroads remind us that we are in a permanent state of flux. Change is the only constant. At each junction, our human virtues and their alter egos battle for our attention and feed on our emotions, influencing our decisions in an eternal spectacle for the Divine. These choices shape us into who we are becoming. No one knows what it all means, but attendance is mandatory.

In The Devil's Crossroads, Alexis explores his personal journey, considering it as unique as it is universal. He shares the many choices that have shaped him into the present-day musician, surfer, skateboarder, husband, father, and man he is today. He explores the idea that although our stories differ, they bring us together as we collectively try to give meaning to our existence while attempting to understand how and why we become who we are. To be human is to be a storyteller, and sharing our experiences forces us to reflect on the universal journey that defines our lives.
