'One of the funniest, most subtle novels we've had about the hippy
era's slow fade to black ... this may be his most affecting
emotionally complex novel' (New York Times Book Review) Star has
travelled to Drop City - forty-seven sun-washed acres of commune in
California - to be free from her home, from society's constraints,
and to feel part of something important. But she starts to suspect
that free love was invented by some spotty dude who couldn't get
laid any other way, and that chilled out means lazy. And as for
peace-living, there seems to be an ugly undercurrent of violence.
Then, when rape charges are brought and the police threaten to
close down Drop City, the hippies decamp to the wilds of Alaska
where they intend to live off the land. But instead the community
runs into trouble, unexpected friendships are made and dangerous
enemies are born.
