( ) An insider's analysis of the 60s counterculture with perspectives gained 25-year's later. While Coyote sometimes seems more politic than heartfelt in his self-denegration, he strikes a thought-provoking balance in observing both the failures and excesses of the communards and the value of their grand vision. Tangential discussions of the arts--including the name-dropping-- also elevated the narrative for me. While I am interested the the counter-culture of the 60's, and communal life I found this book to be nothing more than a self aggrandised snapshot of Mr. Coyote. I became tired of hearing him talk about himself. He never followed through with the reasons for his ideals and principles. He obviously lived a full and interesting life with some fascinating people, but should have allowed those individuals more life within the pages. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In his energetic, funny, and intelligent memoir, Peter Coyote relives his fifteen-year ride through the heart of the counterculture--a journey that took him from the quiet rooms of privilege as the son of an East Coast stockbroker to the riotous life of political street theater and the self-imposed poverty of the West Coast communal movement known as The Diggers. With this innovative collective of artist-anarchists who had assumed as their task nothing less than the re-creation of the nation's political and social soul, Coyote and his companions soon became power players. In prose both graphic and unsentimental, Coyote reveals the corrosive side of love that was once called "free"; the anxieties and occasional terrors of late-night, drug-fueled visits of biker gangs looking to party; and his own quest for the next high. His road through revolution brought him to adulthood and to his major role as a political strategist: from radical communard to the chairman of the California Arts Council, from a street theater apprentice to a motion-picture star.
