Promised Lands

PROMISED LANDS Growing Up Absurd in the 1950s and '60s is a personal memoir that encompasses a rural Ontario boyhood marked by family tragedy, youthful travels through Europe and the Middle East, and film school and radical politics in London in the late 1960s. Drugs, war, imprisonment and lots of sex highlight a tense, hilarious and moving account of a search for identity and meaning in a time of deep cultural turmoil.
