About
The classic novel of the 1960s"€"an unerring corrosively comic depiction of a campus in revolt. Richard Faria evokes the Sixties as precisely, wittily, and poignantly as F. Scott Fitzgerald captured the Jazz Age. The hero, Gnossus Pappadopoulis, weaves his way through the psychedelic landscape, encountering"€"among other things"€"mescaline, women, art, gluttony, falsehood, science, prayer, and, occasionally, truth. A portrait of an explosive decade, sparkling with inventive writing and conveying the essence of a generation, Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me, as Thomas Pynchon wrote, "comes on like the Hallelujah Chorus done by 200 kazoo players with perfect pitch." "A marvelous storyteller, Faria is fit to join the company of Kerouac, Kesey, and Pynchon." "€"San Francisco Chronicle
