Content:

"Samuel R Delany takes a long, searching look back at the mythic scenes of his youthful adventures, the launching pad for the psychedelic voyages that shaped his phenomenal science fiction. This is the story of a mind being born, the dawn of a new awareness that set loose the fantastic imagination of 'the best science fiction writer in the world'" - Galaxy

(from the cover)

"We near an even dozen years from the incidents contouring these reflections. In the summer of 1967, the phrase-happy media, looking over San Francisco's young-folk and the Bay-area's emergent rock groups ("Moby Grape," "Big Brother and the Holding Company," "Country Joe and the Fish" . . . ), dubbed it all the Summer of Love. But whatever process was caught in crosssection by the image glimmering around the phrase (a barefoot adolescent of nonspecific gender, standing in Golden Gate Park and holding a flower, wearing not much and that mostly hand-made), the process was finally too complex for the image to cover."
