Lynn and Joe - Peculiar Travel Suggestions (Paperback)

A passionate and unrepentant memoir of illicit and adulterous love in 1970s Berkeley. Lynn Danielle -a dancer, a poet, an artist, a lifelong student of existentialism, a single mother grieving for displaced sons, attempts to revive her optimism against all logic, by following, "Peculiar travel suggestions" (As suggested by Kurt Vonnegut in Cat's Cradle). Inspired by her studies in the Classics library at UC Berkeley Lynn takes up the time-honored tradition of renewing her virginity in the sea, a nearly forgotten ritual established by Aphrodite on the island of Cypress in the Mediterranean. She meets the drummer whose beats take possession of her feet; he is the artist who sculpts life as well as wood. Joe is real, the quintessential Ares, a disciple of experience. Lynn is real. Her daughter Marika is more capricious than Puck. The poets are real. For their own amusement it seems that the classic gods of the Greek Pantheon have, unbeknownst to anyone, possessed a group of San Francisco Bay Area poets and their interventions further the plot. Lynn's world turns upside down. What kind of feet does she land on? Are they His or are they Hers? This book is a fictitiously honest exploration of real life magic and a totally honest journal of Victorian home restoration. Existentialism? Garden-variety madness? Who is in control?
