About This Item
HarperCollins, London, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Very Good. 228 pp., endpaper maps, illustrated dustwrapper, several tiny rubs to edges. Nothing less than the spiritual anatomy of a culture coming apart at the seams. Drawing on the myth and history of the Southwest, McGrath enjoys the singular perspective of the outsider looking in. An interesting, amusing, as well as fascinating account by a woman who travelled through America's southwestern desert communities and towns, encountering and talking with a wide array of UFOlogists, New Age prctitioners, ex-hippies, tree-huggers, aliens, immortals, inner children, conspiracy theorists, and others, coming away with impressions of much poignancy, weirdness, and general strangeness. Author's acclaimed first book. Full number line. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
