"Foucault once declared that he had written nothing but fictions, and here we have a stylised account of a short moment in his life, written with the verve of a novel."--Stuart Elden, author of Foucault's Last Decade, "A wildly entertaining memoir written by someone who helped curate, witness and then document a mind-altering experience in the life of one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. The act of witnessing, in fact, is what makes Wade's account so masterly."--Eric Bulson, Times Literary Supplement "Excellent and surprising."--Scott Bradfield, Los Angeles Times "Wade's poetic rendering of Foucault's LSD trip...manages to capture the philosopher's hesitations and fears but also conveys the spectacle of a towering intellect leveled by the visceral power of the drug experience."--James Penner, Los Angeles Review of Books "Foucault once declared that he had written noting but fictions, and here we have a stylised account of a short moment in his life, written with the verve of a novel."--Stuart Elden, author of Foucault's Last Decade "Very funny and endearing."-- Reviews by Amos Lassen, "A wildly entertaining memoir written by someone who helped curate, witness and then document a mind-altering experience in the life of one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century.
