About This Item
Berkeley, California: Heyday Books, 2019. First Edition. Hardcover. As New. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. The title continues: A True StoryWherein the Great French Philosopher Drops Acid in the Valley of Death. Sterling condition hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear to the pictorial boards not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. 129 pp. and with illustrated endpapers front and rear. Foreword by Heather Dundas. From the publisher's blurb, the book tells of the iconic French philosopher as speaking "nostalgically of 'an unforgettable evening on LSD, in carefully prepared doses, in the desert night, with delicious music, [and] nice people,'" when in 1975 Foucault spent Memorial Day weekend in Southern California at the invitation of Simeon Wade ostensibly in preparation for a lecture to be delivered at the Claremont Graduate School. "Part search for higher consciousness, part bacchanal, this book chronicles a young man's burgeoning friendship with one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
