Timothy Leary's back in jail, so the time is about right to get the scoop on his free time, and revel in the details of his mystery-novel escape. Funnily enough, even someone who spends as much time looking over the non-stop outpourings of the radical/ underground/ alternative/ counter-cultural/ movement/ rock/ psychedelic press, can't tell you just where Leary is incarcerated at present, but I suppose that is beside the point.

CONFESSIONS OF A HOPE FIEND By Timothy Leary (Bantam)
Timothy Leary's back in jail, so the time is about right to get the scoop on his free time, and revel in the details of his mystery-novel escape. Funnily enough, even someone who spends as much time looking over the non-stop outpourings of the radical/ underground/ alternative/ counter-cultural/ movement/ rock/ psychedelic press, can't tell you just where Leary is incarcerated at present, but I suppose that is beside the point.
The narrative portions of Confessions of a Hope Fiend are partially taken from the earlier Jail Notes (Douglas -Grove) for the jail days, and are partly Tim�s version of what really happened, both with the Weatherpeople-engineered escape and during his months in Algeria, where he lived under virtual house arrest, courtesy of Eldridge Cleaver and his faction of the Black Panther Party.
