The Other Side to This Life

Leavened with humour and astute observation Glasser presents a harsh and uncompromising view of the Vietnam era military and San Francisco street life during the mid 1960s. After the first chapter the reader becomes 'the traveller' on a series of surreal adventures spanning the socially volatile years between 1965 - 1969. Along the way we encounter strange and nefarious characters drugs and the social turmoil at epicenter of the counterculture movement. The central character's wry philosophical observations about his adventures/misadventures simply but eloquently underscore the bizarre ambience of the time.
