---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2001 22:45:28 -0800 From: Eve J. Eisenberg <evejudi@earthlink.net> To: sixties@jefferson.village.virginia.edu Subject: Review of new 60's novel? Advance notice of a new book THE OTHER SIDE of HAIGHT by James Fadiman A new novel from someone who lived that reality. Jim's connection to the 60's ranges from co-founding a commune in New Mexico to being there, on the grass, at the Great Human Be-in to being a legal psychedelic researcher. This book rekindles memories for those who remember, and were "there" in body and/or Spirit, while it sparks curiosity and new interest for those who were not. Hi! We recently visited your website, http://lists.village.virginia.edu/sixties/, and want to let you know about a Jim Fadiman's novel set in Haight-Ashbury in the 60's. We're checking to see if you'd be interested in reading an advance copy of the book before it is released to bookstores (January 2001) and then posting a review of it on your site. Also, we will soon launch a website for Jim's book, and thought you might be interested in reciprocal linking (he plans on having a page of 60's links). "THE OTHER SIDE of HAIGHT," by James Fadiman, tells the story of a group of young people sharing a house in Haight-Ashbury in the 60's, both embodying and creating the spirit of their place and time. As the story unfolds, they are compelled to strike out at the forces which are corrupting their values and a way of life they hold dear. For more information about James Fadiman, see below.
