Whatever Happened to Timothy Leary?
Bryan, John. Renaissance Press, 1980 (1st Ed.). Softbound. Avant-garde journalist Bryan founded the 1960s Los Angeles underground newspaper, Open City, noted for its Charles Bukowski column, 'Notes of a Dirty Old Man' (Bukowski would later satirize the publication's history in his short story, 'The Birth, Life and Death of an Underground Newspaper'). This irreverent retelling of Leary's exploits features a copyright page actually identifying the book as the '201st issue' of Open City, and its foreword emphasizes the complex cultural role the drug guru played, acknowledging his 'brilliant ideas' while adding that 'nothing he's done is any terrible surprise.'
Tight, square spine has some creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light edge-wear and areas of moderate to heavy rubbing to the covers. 296 pp (plus photo appendix). Biography.
