“There are often people in your life that just fit perfectly and you love without question.
…the author has written a book that deserves to stand alongside The Education of Henry Adams.” That capacity for acute observation combined with unsparing self-reflection permeates this engrossing memoir. With this innovative collective of artist-anarchists who cared for the homeless and hungry through Digger kitchens in the Haight-Ashbury and gardens in Marin, Coyote was drawn away from the noise and turmoil of the 60’s counterculture into the studious quiet of Zen Buddhism, and a deep, lasting friendship with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder.Įven as a boy, Peter Coyote sensed that his ‘one eye was looking out and the other was looking in’. In his energetic, funny, and exceptionally intelligent memoir, The Rainman’s Third Cure, Peter Coyote relives his fifteen-year ride through the heart of the counterculture-a journey that took him from the quiet rooms of privilege as the son of an East Coast stockbroker to Greenwich Village to the riotous life of political street theater and the self-imposed poverty of the West Coast communal movement known as The Diggers. “…Peter has lived a life most of us could only dream of.” (3 sites), Moe’s, Walden Pond Bookstore, Diesel a Bookstore, Mrs. Advance tickets: $12 : :: T: 80 or Pegasus
