Watts, Alan W. The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity. Collier Books, 1978 (1st Collier Books Ed., 7th Printing). Softbound. An appropriately groovy cover to this mass-market paperback, which reflects the countercultural cred Watts had accrued during the preceding two decades, following the success of his long-running KPFA radio show. The self-described 'philosophical entertainer' spent much of his life in a cabin at Druid Heights, the Marin County bohemian community founded by poet Elsa Gidlow with Isabel Quallo and Roger Somers. After a period of heavy drinking, Watts died mysteriously there in 1973 at the age of 58, his body quickly whisked away and cremated by Buddhist monks on a wooden pyre at nearby Muir Beach.
