About

David Perlis is joined by Chris Jennings for a conversation about Perlis's new cultural history, Morning in Marin: Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast (Heyday Books). This free event is presented in partnership with Wayfinder Bookstore and Fairfax Recreation and will be held at the Fairfax Pavilion. No registration is required. To buy the book, you can go here or purchase it at the event. Contact Anne Mannes at amannes@townoffairfax.org with any questions. The book is a cultural history of free spirits and wild ideas from Alan Watts to George Lucas and beyond, exploring the creative scene of midcentury Marin County. It traces a movement of Zen thinkers, Beat poets, mystic feminists, and psychedelic rockers from their radical beginnings through their crises and contradictions, revealing how the people, places, and ideas of Marin created a lasting American mythology. David Perlis is a writer, musician, and filmmaker from Marin County, California, and Morning in Marin is his first book. Chris Jennings is the author of End of Days: Ruby Ridge, the Apocalypse, and the Unmaking of America, and Paradise Now: The Story of American Utopianism.
