Memories of Drop City: The first hippie commune of the 1960's and the Summer of Love - John Curl

Descriere Memories of Drop City: The first hippie commune of the 1960's and the Summer of Love - John Curl

\nMemories of Drop City follows a group of people and their radical movement, in the Southwest and on both coasts, in a decade that shaped the rest of the century. \n\n \nJohn Curl's characters in Memories of Drop City aspire to be '100 years' ahead of the rest of us, but Curl shows, through his highly crafted and brilliant novelistic memoir, that they often succumb to the same social flaws as the rest of us. This might be the most balanced memoir or novel yet published about the Sixties. \n \nIshmael Reed, National Book Award nominee \n \nWith this compelling evocation and portrayal of breathing people, John Curl unpacks the boxed lunch myth of America's alternative lifestyle Sixties, and restores the day to day flavor of a deeply fabled era still key to understanding the way we live (and don't live) now. \n \nAl Young, poet laureate of California \n \nMemories of Drop City is an extraordinary book which brings the Sixties back to life in vivid detail and conveys the spirit of the Sixties better than almost anything else I've read. \n \nGerald Nicosia, author of Memory Babe \n \nMemories of Drop City brings vibrantly to light the flower children who returned to the land seeking peace and by that act were committing revolution. John Curl captures the idealism of a generation and their demonstrations against war in a revolution with a smile.. \n \nFloyd Salas, author of Tattoo the Wicked Cross \n
