To devotees, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a mental and physical study, a passionate way of life. William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. BARBARIAN DAYS is his immersive memoir of a life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa, Peru and beyond. Finnegan describes the edgy yet enduring brotherhood forged among the swell of the surf; and recalling his own apprenticeship to the worlds most famous and challenging waves, he considers the intense relationship formed between man, board and water.BARBARIAN DAYS is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one mans gradual mastering of an exacting and little-understood art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment. Author Biography WILLIAM FINNEGAN is the author of Cold New World, A Complicated War, Dateline Soweto, and Crossing the Line. He has twice been a National Magazine Award finalist and has won numerous journalism awards, including two Overseas Press Club awards since 2009.
