The Barbarian Parade: Or, Pursuit Of An Un American Dream

This is the story of Gabriel Toure barrelling headfirst into life as he is introduced to sex, soccer, and the changing dynamics of family relations. Gaby is a good boy with a wild streak in dogged pursuit of the elusive meanings of freedom and love. As a boy growing up in Montreux, Kentucky, he idolised his father, Smilin' Ray, a hardworking Southern man who was fond of the horse track and drinking with the boys. When Ray is sent to prison on false drug charges, Gaby, lustful for experience, breaks from what was once a close family to fulfil his restlessness, choosing to place his faith in his body and in the sport of soccer.
