Orange is Optimism is an innovative, genre-blending book, which Kit & J.R. have dubbed a pictotext, a blend between a novel and photobook.

Orange is Optimism is a modern picaresque novel that joins two seekers, Kit and J.R., on a rainbow-doused, overland journey to the mystical Tangerine Hot Springs, a place of hobo dreams brought to fruition.

The book is a philosophical exploration of work, leisure, and idleness. It is also a hair-raising and comical overland adventure through the wild spaces of America.

Join Kit and J.R. as they overcome physical blunders and encounter an assortment of bums, tramps, and hobos.  Consider queries about truth, existence, and the meaning of a journey in some of the most beautiful places in North America.

Inside, you’ll learn why an Optimist is the most radical thing you can be.
