Overview

INTO TROUBLE tells the true story of Paul Gorman's 1969 backpacking trip to Spain. As a shy nineteen year old teenager, he sets off on a trip to Europe. As a harbinger of things to come, on his flight to NYC, he meets future author of Midnight Express, Billy Hayes, and spends the night at his folks' place. Several weeks after landing in Luxembourg, Gorman heads south in search of sunshine, bikini clad Scandinavian girls and cheap prices. He winds up in Franco's Spain: the Canary Islands. While there, he gets into trouble, so much so that the U.S. Department of State gets involved in his case, using him as a pawn in an arms agreement between the Nixon administration and Spain.Gorman's tale is the dramatic and sometimes humorous story of a young man searching for his place in the world, coming to terms with his relationship with his autocratic father, chasing after romance, avoiding the draft, and lessons he learned from his travels. Along the lines of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, Midnight Express by Billy Hayes and Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale, this riveting memoir will entertain and intrigue you. It's honest and authentic and, simply, an amazing story.
