Surprisingly enough, the children of sixties parents have been largely silent. David Layton's fascinating memoir more than fills the gap.The book is full of energy, originality, humor, emotional intelligence.Once started, it's impossible to put down - I read it in one marathon sitting. Here is a new writer whose work I will follow with great interest.
What a find!

This is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. It's relentlessly honest, very funny, touching, beautifully written. David Layton's images are highly original and striking. This memoir is also one of the few written by kids of 60's parents and it takes a hard yet sympathetic look at what it was like to have unconventional parents. It's also impossible to put this book down once you've started it.
great read!
