06.11: Naked in the Woods: My Unexpected Years in a Hippie Commune
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
In 1970, Margaret Grundstein abandoned her graduate degree at Yale and followed her husband, an Indonesian prince and community activist, to a commune in the backwoods of Oregon. Together with 10 friends and an ever-changing mix of strangers, they began to build their vision of utopia. Naked in the Woods (Oregon State University) chronicles Grundstein's shift from reluctant hippie to committed utopian — drawing readers into a period of convulsive social change and raising timeless questions: How far must we venture to find the meaning we seek, and is it ever far out enough to escape our ingrained human nature?
