Samuel Delany is a good writer, and I have enjoyed his fictions a great deal. As a high plains person it is very interesting to see his east coast version of the 60's, an area dominated by the west Coast sensibility in most of my reading. Heavenly Breakfast was a lot like my memories of 1966 -70, so I like this book. ( ) A follow-up to Delany's memoirs, Motion of Light on Water. My understanding is that this is a somewhat fictionalized account and that Motion of Light on Water is more accurate, though since MoLoW is mostly about the vagaries of memory, it's unclear if that's a meaningful statement. I think Heavenly Breakfast captures the essence of life in Greenwich Village in the late sixties. The book recounts experimentation with drugs, sex, and the arts with the sharp-eyed, adventurous naivete of one of Delany's characters. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Cultural Writing. Memoir. HEAVENLY BREAKFAST is Samuel R. Delaney's wise and vivid essay on urban communes and cooperatives in the winter of 'Sixty-seven/'Sixty-eight. It examines their function, structure, permanence, and impermanence as precisely as a sociological study. Because its method is narrative and anecdotal, however, it reads like a passionate memoir--a marvelous document from an extraordinary time. Based on journals he kept at the time, these pages recount his encounters with other communes and experimental living arrangements-some gentle, some brutal; of encounters between those inside and those outside the countercultural life; of idealism and hopes pushing against a resistant reality.
