Getting Real ...
... subtitled, Drifting into Middle Age, begins where the last book ended, and like both I Think, Therefore Who Am I? and Digging Deeper, is a pastiche of discrete short stories that together form a novel. The thirty pieces cover twenty years, from the late seventies to about the year 2000.

Rehabilitation
Digging Deeper, A Memoir of the Seventies, picks up where I Think, Therefore Who Am I? left off. That book, translated and available in Italy as Penso, dunque chi sono?, details a "year in the life of" a psychedelic hippie. This book, also a first person nonfiction novel, begins where that one ended, spans eight years of work, partnership and marriage. Its theme is the struggle and adventures of people in their twenties to lead a creative life in the 1970s.
Digging Deeper is available from Internet outlets. Here's the link to the first chapter, published in a friend's blog:
