Synopsis
“Beast” is a pure innocent with one simple goal--to become an expert on the Middle Ages. He comes to Berkeley, the Cathedral of Learning, in 1971, a time of political upheaval, hallucinogenic drugs, abundant sex, and down-and-dirty rock and roll. On his quest for meaning he hangs out with a Harley-riding dwarf, a pre-goth artists' model, a sorority girl turned nymphomaniac, and the heir to a family of French aristocrats with a bloody history dating back to before Joan of Arc. Beast soon discovers that he can’t live in the past but has to embrace the present, with its traps and land mines and the horrors of contemporary society—death by motorcycle and bad acid trips. The world is exploding, but students still go to classes, fall in love, get laid, study in libraries, win awards, even graduate. The country is on fire, and Berkeley supplies the fuel. The Book of Changes is the third book of the California Quartet.

À propos de l'auteur
Jack Remick has worked underground as a tunnel rat. He's been a social worker, a school teacher, a bus driver, a retail clerk, a turkey de-beaker, and a house painter. In the early 60s he ran off to South America a few times where, with his partner Ramon-a Chilean expatriate-he bummed around as a teacher, smuggler, and general lowlife. He returned to the States under a red flag when the US consul in Cali, Colombia, booted him out rather than renew his passport. He traveled extensively in South America from Peru to Colombia. He lived in Mexico, where his family of silver miners worked in operations that never made money but sounded good in print.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. Fiction. The book is straight, tight, very clean with no marks noted. Beast is a pure innocent with one simple goalto become an expert on the Middle Ages. He comes to Berkeley in 1971, a time of upheaval, and on his quest for meaning hangs out with a Harley-riding dwarf, a raven-haired Gothic artists model, and a sorority girl nymphomaniac and heir to a family of French aristocrats. The country is on fire, and Berkeley supplies the fuel! A rhythmic, almost hypnotic narrative with a cadence like a relentless drum or at times a turbulent raging river! Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education. N° de réf. du vendeur 004636
