“We see right through the unshowered soul living in a car by the beach, or by the Walmart, or by the side of the road. But he’s there, and he used to be somebody. He still is. A firsthand account of homelessness in America.” Patrick Fealey in Esquire on his life as The Invisible Man. “People pull in to visit the lighthouse or the beach or wherever I am, see me, and immediately park somewhere else. All day long. They are so afraid. I know I look disheveled, but I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with me intellectually or spiritually. I know I could look better, but I just don’t see what the big deal is.”
