Sleeping Where I Fall: A Chronicle
by
Peter Coyote's compelling memoir traces the anarchic West Coast counterculture of the sixties and seventies through the political street theater of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, the revolutionary economic theories of the Diggers, and the chaotic encampments of the extended Free Family of hippies and activists. Coyote offers blunt, affectionate, and often comic portraits of friends, lovers, and fellow travelers -- all hell-bent on redefining what was morally permissible. Sleeping Where I Fall pays honest tribute to the spiritual search of a generation that had become morally estranged from the dominant culture, a generation that transformed the politics -- then the heart and soul -- of America.
