This is a memoir or rather an odyssey of sorts about the road taken by many in the 1960s in their search for an alternative to traditional politics. It is those who were inspired by the novels of Ayn Rand and sought alternatives that allowed more individual freedom. In Tucille's case that led to a sort of radical libertarianism bordering on anarchism.

I read this earlier book after already reading the sequel "Hemingway and Gellhorn: The Untold Story of Two Writers, Espionage, War, and the Great Depression" and this was definitely in the same trashy exploitative vein as the second one.

it makes for some entertainment but rewriting Hemingway's own Paris memoir "A Moveable Feast" as biography (when Hemingway himself admitted it could be read as fiction and a lot of it has been proved as such in Jacqueline Tavernier-Courbin's "Ernest Hemingway's a Moveable Feast") seems like an invitation to be prosecuted for plagiarism… (plus d'informations)
