Sleeping Where I Fall: A Chronicle

Rating:
Summary: well written, but an embarrasment to communardss everywhere
Review: This was a well written book of an interesting time. Coyote's honesty was apparent but there is obviously a glamorous, boastful side to it that is not appealing to me. I lived through that time and had parallel adventures. His groups with their dependance on welfare and unemployment checks, their use of heroin and methamphetamines, and their absurd and adolescent macho posturing with guns gave the rest of us honest , hardworking counterculture types a bad name. It is no wonder there are so many victims strewn through the book and it is no wonder that they had so much trouble with neighbors. It was reassuring that he seemed to have learned some lessons from those times.
