LSD: My Problem Child
The Antioch Review January 1, 1981 Barbara Kohn, Albert Hofmann 147 citations
The father of LSD, Albert Hofmann, recounts the history of his discovery and his career as a research chemist, offering a personal inside story of the birth of the Psychedelic Age. The book argues that LSD, psilocybin, and other hallucinogens create cracks in materialistic rationality that are worth exploring. It also introduces American readers to European writers on hallucinogens such as Rudolf Gelpke, Ernst Junger, and Walter Vogt, and includes chapters originally presented at a 1978 conference.
