- Summary:
- When she joins a pair of hitchhikers on a trip to California, a youngMidwestern woman embarks on a journey about memory and knowledge, beauty andrealization. This true story, set in 1971, recounts a fateful, nine-day trip intothe American counterculture that begins on a whim and quickly becomes a mission tounravel a tragic mystery. The narrator's path leads her to Berkeley, San Francisco, Mill Valley, Big Sur, and finally to an abandoned resort motel, now become adown-on-its-luck commune in the desert of southern Colorado. Neither a memoir aboutprivate misery, nor a shocking expos of life in a turbulent era, The GlimpseTraveler describes with wry humor and deep feeling what it was like to witness apeculiar and impossibly rich time.
