My Generation: A Memoir of the Baby Boom
About this audiobook
Coming of age in the 60s, we were inspired by free love, LSD, and rock music, to leave the city in search of peace, the simple life, a counterculture utopia.
“Reflective yet contemporary,” My Generation charts a fast-paced, passionate, thoughtful and humorous journey of personal growth, showing how that growth can dramatically change the trajectory of your life--if you let it.
“For those who have been captivated by Kerouac, Ginsberg and Bukowski... they have the chance to add a new name in the pantheon: Nowick Gray. My Generation is a wonderful account of a new Neo who struggles to leave behind the American Matrix.”
About the author
In this intensely personal memoir, Nowick Gray charts a unique yet representative journey through the tumultuous sixties and seventies, seeking alternatives to corporate conformity and the looming threat of apocalypse. His self-exile from East Coast suburbia spirals through campus rebellion, California dreaming, a testy Canadian romance, and an Inuit village preparing for its own revolution... bound for a back-to-the-land utopia in the mountains of British Columbia.
Currently Nowick makes his home on Salt Spring Island, BC, where he writes fiction and creative nonfiction. He also works as a freelance copyeditor. When not engaged with words, he enjoys hiking, kayaking, and playing African drums.
