Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Flashbacks
With a foreword by William Burroughs, this frenetic autobiography relates the life story of Timothy Leary, one of the key figures of the1960s North American counterculture, and the primary proponent of psychedelia as a way of life. Leary’s controversial views made him a public enemy in the United States, where he was eventually arrested in 1970 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. His escape from prison, and subsequent flight, with the help of the Weathermen, first to Algeria, then to Switzerland, Vienna, Beirut, and finally Kabul, Afghanistan, read like something out of a novel. Other events in Leary’s life were no less dramatic, and he chronicles them in this book openly and energetically. Intriguing cameos of iconic figures are woven into the author’s life history, including one by Cary Grant, whose experiments with lysergic acid are described in detail. Ultimately, Timothy Leary’s memories are as much a record of a singular era in American history as they are one man’s recollections of a struggle against persecution and being ostracized.Point Books Supposing Flashbacks

Read this many years ago - would love to read it again.all that experimentation with psychedelic drugs and yet mr. leary seems to have missed the boat on spirituality.

Didn't realise he was on the cusp of expanded consciousness for the masses before the man came down on his head. Left me needing more. Great read.
Mind bending and life changing book, an autobiographical masterpiece! Join Leary on his search for meaning, love, success, and everything in between. Timothy masterfully captures the essence of what it is to be a human being.
There's no doubt Dr. Leary played a particular, if self aggrandized role in the 60's mythology. The man liked his hedonism & drugs, was proud of his brain and rebelled in a pretty notorious manner.This book retells some of the troubles he got into along the way. I got to meet and spend a day with Dr Leary before he died, and asked him personally about some of the infamous episodes retold from his point of view in this book. When questioned about whether he ever worked for undercover or as a
One of the best autobiographies I've read. It reads like a thriller. Some of the events may not have happened at all, some may have happened a bit differently but that's an inherent part of legendary figures' lives.
