4.0 out of 5 stars
worth the trip,
This review is from: Timothy Leary, the Madness of the Sixties and Me (Hardcover)
a "highly" entertaining journey through a few windows of Leary's life in the sixties as perceived by the author, who comes across as a cohort/colleague/friend to Leary. At times there are harsh words expressed about Leary and the sixties. At other times there is praise and admiration. I believe that balance is basically achieved through this approach.Dr. Slack seems an alternately considered and adventurous participant in the wild goings on of the time. At times, he seems to be analyzing the subject and at other times seems to rush headlong into the bizarre experiences like any other anxious, adventurous kid. It was interesting to read an account by one who is not an unbridled supporter of the era or the icon Leary. Dr. Slack is a self-professed member of the establishment in some ways; in other ways he is a fearless neuronaut like the others. It begs the question: what would Leary have said about Slack? Overall this work is an entertaining romp through the multicolored corridors of a very interesting time. Leary serves as the elusive one being intellectually hunted by so many. The author, Dr. Slack, does a noble job of painting a uniquely rich version of the events.
