Keith's self written autobiography now available on Amazon. He began writing the story in 1958, and brought it to completion just before his Death in 2023. He worked on this true Beatnik story for 65 years, before he felt it was ready for reading. Please read a copy if you knew Keith Lorenz, or if you look for one of the most different and interesting travel memoirs from the last centaury. Thank you, John ( Keith's Nephew) ...
