WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LIVING IDEAS:

"I very much enjoyed reading your beautifully written memoir...I could not put it down, identifying with so many of your struggles...
I appreciated the way you interspersed your career struggles with that of your love life - a struggle most of us contended with...

"I had to put it down: it took me back to painful years in grad school. But I also underlined passages for my daughter."

"LIVING IDEAS goes fearlessly into the emotional and sexual tumult of the seventies."

"I appreciate...how you expressed... the passion of the times, the underlying impetuses of the movement, the deep (and corrosive) conflicts ensuing, and both the gains and 'prices paid,' individually and collectively."
