My Vita, If You Will

Meer over het boek

The autobiography delves into a journey from existential despair to the ribald comedy that defines McClanahan's writing. It features vivid early tales and explores his immersion in California's hippie culture. Key highlights include reflections on Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, an insider's view of Neal Cassady, and a nostalgic reunion with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Through these narratives, McClanahan captures the transformation of a radical generation as they age, blending warmth and hard-earned wisdom throughout his reflections.
