ROBERT GREENFIELD reading & book signing for "Timothy Leary" Monday, June 5th at 7 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
To a generation in revolt against authority, "Tune in, turn on, drop out" became a mantra - and its popularizer, Dr. Timothy Leary, a guru. Timothy Leary, by Robert Greenfield (the award-winning biographer of Jerry Garcia and Bill Graham), is the first major biography of one of the most controversial figures in postwar America. "Greenfield’s cornerstone portrait of the acidhead who would be king brilliantly illuminates the paradoxes of the psychedelic age." - Booklist
Robert Greenfield is the author of a biography of Jerry Garcia and a book about rock impresario Bill Graham, which won a Ralph J. Gleason Award and the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for Excellence. He lives in Northern California.
