Young Jack Acid, aspiring artist and writer, lands in a halfway house transported from Cincinnati to San Francisco mid 1970s, in the midst of left coast marijuana uprising, and social unrest. Rejected by radical mental health intervention, traditional means are suggested causing Jack to seek Zen, the Merry Pranksters, hitchhiking, storytelling, and rockstardom.
Years later he absorbs the intervention of Unusually Tretheway, a lesbian Sensei, whose hallucination chamber yields a story including radio, Cuba, Lansky in Cuba, time travel, famous people in and out of place and time, photography, fine art, Harvard, mystical romance, method acting and neurolinguistic programming.
Jack, somehow restored from Cuban highs, through institutions in Ohio, faces his schizophrenia, transcends his alcoholism, and discovers poetry in the shoes of being.Also from
