Editorial Reviews

Review

A hearty dose of mind-expanding essays and interviews, at the very least, Timothy Leary's work deserves to be studied, and this book should stimulate such a rewarding undertaking. -- Branches, June 1999

The list of contributors to this book reads like a "who's who" from the consciousness movement of recent decades. -- Bodhi Tree Book Review, Winter 1999 / Spring 2000

Timothy Leary's dead. No, no no no, he's outside, looking in. -- The Moody Blues, Legend of a Mind


Review

"The list of contributors to this book reads like a "who's who" from the consciousness movement of recent decades. Leary emerges as a remarkable and charismatic character. For a fresh look at the sixties, these accounts of one of the pivotal figures of that decade are thoughtful, informative and evocative."

5.0 out of 5 stars Multiperspective View of Leary, August 27, 2002
By Thomas M. Seay (Palo Alto, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Timothy Leary is a mythological figure. Almost everyone has an opinion of him, even if they have never read a word he wrote.
Often opinions are second-hand filtered through this or that media source.

The editor for this book, Robert Forte, one
of Mircea Eliade's last students at the University of Chicago,
does not provide us with second-hand information that he has digested, but instead, gathers an anthology of viewpoints from those who knew Timothy Leary. Not all are positive, and I was surprized to read the negative remarks of Owlsley Stanley in regards to Leary. Thanks to this compendium, we are allowed past the veil of the myth and get a glimpse of the human Timothy Leary.

Robert Forte knew Timothy Leary personally and has edited another book, Entheogens and the Future of religion, that I highly recommend.

Thomas Seay

5.0 out of 5 stars a refreshingly honest multi-angled profile of Leary, November 16, 2000
By Charles E Hayes (Westchester County, New York) - See all my reviews
Robert Forte is one of the most important living documentarians of psychedelic history and phenomonology. In this book, he's gathered a myriad voices of people who were really "there" when Leary was influencing people and who therefore have valuable commentary worth hearing -- both positive and negative. The folksy, chatty style of this book make it a pleasure to read. Along with his other book "Entheogens and the Future of Religion," Forte is performing an important informational and documentary service toward a fair assessment of the role that drugs have in society and also of the real-life figures who have affected this. This book is a must read for anyone interested in what Tim Leary (and for that matter, ...) were really like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Distinguished contributors, comprehensive & even-handed., April 3, 1999
By Michael P. Abbott (Tiburon, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone having an interest in Leary, friend or foe, fan or scholar, it's all here from the best first-person sources. "You get the Leary you deserve", he said about himself, and an array of Leary's are presented, as remembered by a marvelous and distinguished group. Bravo to editor Robert Forte.
