Timothy Leary : A Biography by Robert Greenfield has been published. It NOT a sympathetic biography and those who wish to castigate Leary for popularising LSD will find plenty of ammunition here.
Quote:
|
...his book offers a highly detailed and decidedly ugly portrayal of a pathologically selfish, narcissistic yet complex man who lacked basic qualities such as empathy and compassion. Worse, Leary, the cynosure of the psychedelic movement, who preached the power of LSD and other drugs to expand human consciousness and foster change, fails to exhibit the capacity for inner growth.

says the
Amazon editorial view. This is, of course, highly subjective and you might wonder if Robert Greenfield really occupies a high enough moral ground from which to pass such judgements, I haven't had a chance to read it yet though.
However, it looks like the movie industry is interested.
