She was wearing orange slacks that could have protected a road crew at night. (screams '70's) Fast, short chapters. Details with details. Feels like a sit-com of very human, slightly quirky people (aren't we all) that have 60's level free spirit.

Dripping with 70's vernacular and references. Published in '78 so to be expected. Does not sound pretentious though - just 'current', for its classic release date. San Francisco setting/characters feel normal, not stereotyped.

Quickly liking this book already. San Francisco in the 70’s
