While individual biographies of Ginsberg and Leary have been published, their explicit ties have never been explored (outside of FBI files). The combination of these two figures brings together a multitude of major figures from politics, the arts, and the intersection of intellectual life and outlaw culture in a way that sheds new light on the dawn of the 1960s countercultural movement.
Books about these two men carry their own built-in controversy and publicity. Even after their deaths, they are considered dangerously provocative figures to some, and inspirational figures to others. Combining their intertwined histories in a book that also probes a compelling historical period will no doubt strike chords with many journalists who will use their lives, and this book, as a chance to reflect on their legacy and as a bellwether for America.
WHS is appealing for media coverage in a number of areas: politics, drugs, social history, sexuality, psychology, literature, and even current events.
The strong response to the recent book The Harvard Psychedelic Club reveals a renewed interest in Timothy Leary's turbulent life. WHS goes a step beyond by looking at how Leary's Harvard experiments fomented an interest in psychedelics that swept across the country.
