"What a romp across the cosmos! O'Connor is a masterful, ribald trip master taking you on a multi-hued journey―to a time and world where the visionary possibilities seemed endless…but only if you dared partake of the forbidden, elusive sacraments. In his expert hands, he shows how the ride sometimes meant strapping yourself to the back of the psychedelic rocket ship, leaving any known orbit, and then questioning everything―including yourself―along the flight. There's so much in this definitive work―dreams, idealism, humor, self-awareness, and the bittersweet way that nirvana can be both right at hand and oh so far away. In the end, O'Connor shows us that boundless curiosity maybe didn't kill the cat―but perhaps sent the cat to places it never imagined." ― Bill Minutaglio, bestselling author of The Most Dangerous Man in America

"One of the most compelling nonfiction books you'll read this year." ― NPR

"Strikingly original... O’Connor is affable in the extreme, and funny, and in Bigfoot he has found an object of desire that unites in real intimacy conservationists who long for wilderness and seekers who long for transcendence." ― The New York Times

"A winning portrait of America at its weirdest." ― Publishers Weekly STARRED Review
