In 1967’s ‘Summer of Love’ LBJ’s America is fighting a losing war in Vietnam, there are race riots in the streets, hippies are thrusting flowers into gun barrels, and LSD has just been declared an illegal substance. Available at www.posnerbooks.com at considerably less cost. Professor of Psychiatry Thomas Quincy, disillusioned with his profession and his life, is at a crossroads. One of his patients has recently committed suicide, an echo twenty-two years later of his father’s death, a domineering father who was an absentee landlord, choosing his beloved circus over his family. When Thomas’ uncle gifts him with his father’s box of circus photographs, Thomas determines to track down members of the Quincy Circus troupe, gather their stories and through them come to terms with the man who was his father, and with his own deep wounds. His journey across the body of America ultimately becomes a search for simple human truths, and a meditation on the nature of identity, memory, and love. But is it too late, and at what cost?
