VOLUME 1 of TO SAY NOTHING is an easygoing account of the early life of a Canadian baby-boom hippie-slacker covering the years 1968 through 1978. It's the hippie Bildungsgeschichte we've all been waiting for. There are breathtakingly dangerous childhood antics, the horrors of family and high school, and a darkly disturbing move to small-town Alberta. From there across Europe and the Middle East. In and out of college. Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and yoga. Intense but not always faithful loves, theatrical dramas, years of endless parties, a dozen jobs, dodging bullets in Mexico, good luck and bad, odd misadventures, and finally, epiphany and rehabilitation, ending with a tramp through the ashrams of California and, inevitably, a stumble along the Hippie Trail to Nepal and India. Join Neil as, in his own words, thousands of them, in his own unapologetic style, tight, direct, and mostly agenda-free (except for the Legalize Marijuana thing), he takes you gently and humorously by the hand down the path of a bright but confused and shiftless man, buggering around, allergic to work, searching for a life of ease and meaning. Anyone alive in the last half of the 20th century will find something to laugh about-or sneer at-in Neil's adventures. And there's sexy stuff, too.
