For anyone who read In Search of Captain Zero, Allan Weisbecker's tale of his long trek from Long Island to Costa Rica, made with the hope of re-connecting with a long-lost friend, the reader might be left wondering what became of Weisbecker's life "down south" after "Captain Zero" had been located. Probably just a lot of good waves and a lifestyle Ticos refer to as "pura vida" while working with Sean Penn to bring In Search of Captain Zero to the big screen, right?
Hardly. Apparently after relocating to Pavones on Costa Rica's southwest coast, Weisbecker managed to find plenty more action, much of which is set to be revealed in the upcoming Can’t You Get Along With Anyone? A Writer's Memoir, and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise.
According to Weisbecker, in Costa Rica (or at least that region of Costa Rica) there's no shortage of danger or ill will to be found, and his characterization of Pavones may differ significantly from what other visitors have experienced.
Which makes one wonder: is Pavones really that dangerous, or does Weisbecker just tend to attract trouble? Either way, Can’t You Get Along With Anyone? A Writer's Memoir, and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise will no doubt make for an intriguing read.
