Authors first book; Blum a paid volunteer for the early experiments with LSD; he takes it for the last time at Boston Psychopathic Hospital May 24, 1954. This novel is drawn from his vast store of knowledge of American Freakdom and one of its outstanding citizens- Quintus Ells. Quintus Ells in the course of his 17th year sits down to write a letter to his unborn grandson; a map of what it was like to be that age a hundred years ago as a "priviledged member of a protected species," to lose his virginity, to set out on an African safari, to join the great drug experiment and discover its perils and its pleasures. Red boards, white cloth spine. A great read, and unique first head look at the sixties.
