Part mad manifesto, part revolutionary love letter, part freight train adventure story, mental health campaigner Sascha Altman DuBrul's story is a self reflective shattered mirror, a twist on the classic punk rock travel narrative that searches for authenticity and connection in the lives of strangers and the solidarity and limitations of underground community.
"A necessary document of a place where several vital scenes overlapped." --Tobias Carroll, "Vol 1. Brooklyn"
"Take a first-hand ride into a his-tory no one else is talk-ing about, but prob-a-bly should." --Karen Walasek, "Elohi Gadugi Journal"
"DuBrul's focus on both aspects--the danger and the gift--gives his book its most powerful moments. These dangers are literally matters of life and death." --T. K. Dalton, latenightlibrary.org
Sascha Altman DuBrul is an activist and the cofounder of the Bay Area Seed Interchange Library and the Icarus Project, a radical community support network and media project for those suffering from mental health illnesses. He lives in Berkeley, California.
