Bali Fungus

By Jack Freestone

Bali Fungus by Jack Freestone is a raw, immersive novel that blends travel, surf culture, and the restless search for identity. Opening with a lawman-turned-drifter on the road through New Zealand, the book quickly slips into a stream of encounters-waves chased, friendships tested, women desired, and choices abandoned. Freestone's narrator is always in motion, pulled by the ocean and haunted by past lives in the courtroom, moving through smoky parties, coastal motels, and the vibrant undercurrents of places where art, freedom, and chaos collide.

At once confessional and observational, the novel captures the tension between order and abandon, law and art, security and risk. Surfing, music, alcohol, women, and wandering form the pulse of the narrative, but beneath the surface runs a sharper meditation on identity, belonging, and the reckless beauty of youth. Bali Fungus is not just a novel of place-it's a restless journey into the mind of a man standing at the blurred edge between self-destruction and self-discovery.
