A poignant and insightful look at contemporary life in America. It is the story of how easily a human being can fall into the trappings of modern living. While we can be dupped into believing the news and ignoring the plights of others, Campundoni acknowledges that we all have an urge to reconnect with nature, thought most of us don't know how. He subtly warns us not to become hardened and cynical when faced with the truth of our world, but to learn from it, and hopefully, change it.A moving story to say the least. I was hoping to find more works by the author here, but that is apparently not possible.Too bad. Get your hands on a copy of this while you still can!

V. Campudoni has not written any other books. He was a delivery man for a big company and had the book in his soul, wrote it -- that was it. He would not appear for book signings and the publishing company has no idea of his whereabouts. GREAT BOOK!
The beautiful insights of Wendal

Campudoni paints a stunningly blunt looks at society, its stereotypes, and man's search for depth of meaning in life. This book is a great conversation starter or coffee table book, and definitely worth getting as used copy, as the press doesn't recognize the gold mine they're sitting on and won't do another run.
An elegantly simple route to enlightenment.

In just a few short pages we follow Wendal's growth from a naive participant in society to an enlightened truth seeker (Gai-Pan).
What makes us want to read Wendel aloud?

Like the others, I came to find more Campudoni works. I've read Wendel to death. The pages are falling out. Does anyone know what we can do? WHO IS V. CAMPUDONI?
