Spontaneous Generation

Spontaneous Generation is a story about coming of age in the Sixties (which, of course, oozed into the Seventies)an American story, both individual and collective, about love and politics, mirrors and passages. I began writing it in 1972, while it was still happening thick and fast and didnt get around to finishing it until 2005, when Id reached the age at which remembering becomes easier than doing. The story concerns a girl stuck in right field, a descent into an outhouse, male hair, Free Air, flag tattoos, and what happens to things we think weve gotten rid of.
