About this ebook
This book of stories was written more or less 40 years ago, then stuck in a drawer while I made a living to support my family. It is an autobiographical fiction, which is an oxymoron, yes, but nonetheless true. That is to say, everything in this book is based on my own experience, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes romanticized, even sometimes pure wishful thinking. It is also an historical document, an attempt to describe through impressionistic descriptions what it was like to live through the 60's and 70's in the San Francisco Bay Area during the Age of the Hippies. Finally, and perhaps more importantly for me, this book is an endeavor to try to recapture my state of mind as I lived through a society torn apart by the Vietnam war, the continual American sickness of racism, and the generational divide: a turning point in my life.
