The Doors of Perception by Huxley, Aldous

ISBN: 0060801719

Author: Huxley, Aldous

Condition: new

Sometimes a writer has to revisit the classics, and here we find that "gonzo journalism"-gutsy first-person accounts wherein the author is part of the story-didn't originate with Hunter S. Thompson or Tom Wolfe. Aldous Huxley took some mescaline & wrote about it some 10 or 12 years earlier than those others. The book he came up with is part bemused essay & part mystical treatise-"suchness" is everywhere to be found while under the influence. This is a good example of essay writing, journal keeping & the value of controversy-always-in one's work.
