ABOUT WALKER
Back in the 1860s, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone more famous and revered than Preston Dilettante, America's greatest long-distance pedestrian. Preston's descendants dispersed across the U.S.A., and his most devoted among them, Walker Dilettante, shall literally follow in his ancestor's footsteps and walk across the country. He just wants to reunite the whole lot before his beloved Grandpappy walks his last steps.
But Walker's walk isn't a solo trip - he's joined by his social media-savvy cousin Ria, and trailed by mysterious forces and ancient rivals alike. And along the way he most definitely but totally accidentally embroils himself in a deadly national scandal. Take a walk on the mild-turned wild side... with WALKER.
"What a joyous debut novel! It’s like if ‘On The Road’ was an absurdist epic, filled with homespun Americana dreams, centered around a lovable naïf, seasoned with a touch of Simon Rich. Reading this was honestly, somehow, more fun than TV." - Brian McElhaney, writer, Saturday Night Live
“With his hilarious, page-turning debut WALKER, Sam Pasternack has cemented himself as a charming new voice in fiction. I laughed, smiled, gasped, and glued myself to the pages of Walker Dilettante’s journey across the country.” - Becky Chalsen, author of Kismet
Published by Humorist Books in August 2024, Walker became Amazon's #1 New Release in Humorous American Literature in August and September 2024.
