Getting High: A Novel of the 1960s

By J.P. Dooley

"A drug, gasoline, and mysticism fueled trip ... a beautifully written tale of the journey as a long, hypnotic destination ... one amazing tale after another." - M. Christian, editor of the Mammoth Book of the Tales of the Road.Jaymo Mahoney knew only one law - do whatever it takes to get high. Vietnam was behind him. Before him lay the new America - a psychedelic universe of wild adventures, close escapes, endless spliffs, marathons of lovemaking, nights of laughing so hard his guts hurt in the morning, and the omnipresent, ecstatic music that supplied the driving beat of the time. Kick-starting his motorcycle, Jaymo Mahoney was ready... It was going to be the Summer of Love all the time! But to survive, he would need a little help from his friends! A sensitive, insightful literary work that captures the 1960s from the inside. Unapologetic. Celebratory."An exciting, fast paced book that makes you smile with the utter joy and ...humor that is laugh out loud funny. You cannot put this book down and you leave it stoked and ready for the next one." Amazon 5-star review.
