"An extraordinary memoir. The writing is lively, the contents fascinating, the point of view serious and sincere"-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Flashbacks is filled with good stories, celebrities, zaniness, and solid information about the psychedelic revolution of the sixties and the man who was its chief proponent."
-- Andrew Weil, M.D., author of The Natural Mind and From Chocolate to Morphine
"Picaresque autobiography . . . a beguiling mix which brings an era back to life."
-- Newsweek
"An irreverent, readable memoir."
-- Publisher's Weekly
"Someday, in a more enlightened age, Tim Leary may be remembered as the Galileo of the Twentieth Century. Meanwhile, as Flashbacks jauntily demonstrates, we can have a lot more fun with our neuronaut than the Italians had with their astronomer."
-- Tom Robbins, author of Still Life with Woodpecker
"Flashbacks vibrates with youthful energy . . . a picaresque adventure that covers more territory than the space shuttle."
