……是坏人,但我认为这可能正是这里的重点。更不用说,这只是三藩市作为药物实验先锋悠久历史里的又一个章节罢了。你可能会喜欢狄迪恩 1967 年写的《向伯利恒跋涉》[1],那是一篇同样记录轶闻趣事(且文笔好得多)的作品,描写了三藩市“爱之夏”时期的毒品圈子。[1] https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/06/didion/
…are bad people, but I think that could be the point here. Not to mention, this is just another chapter in SF's long history of being the vanguard of drug experimentation. You may enjoy Didion's 1967 Slouching towards Bethlehem[1], a similarly anecdotal (and substantially better-written) piece about the drug scene in SF's Summer of Love.

……《Heaven》和《The Word for World Is Forest》,都是 Ursula K Le Guin 的(还有《The Left Hand of Darkness》,我在上面确实看到了)。非科幻类:- Taffy Brodesser-Akner 的《Fleishman Is In Trouble》- Joan Didion 的《Slouching Towards Bethlehem》(随笔集)- Jane Austen 的《Pride and Prejudice》- Sylvia Plath 的《The Bell Jar》
…Heaven and The Word for World Is Forest, both by Ursula K Le Guin (also The Left Hand of Darkness, which I did see on there) Non-science fiction: - Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner - Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion (essays) - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
她是个极具个人特色的出色作家。观察敏锐,能捕捉到那些意味深长的细节。如果你对 20 世纪 60 年代末到 70 年代的加州感兴趣,她的散文集《向伯利恒跋涉》和《白色专辑》是必读之作——她当时住在洛杉矶,对嬉皮士/婴儿潮一代来说绝对是个局外人……
She's a beautiful writer with a very distinct voice. Observant, noticing the telling details. Her essay compilations "Slouching towards Bethlehem" and "The White Album" are essential reading if you're interested in California in the late 1960s and into the 1970s -- she lived in LA at the time, and is definitely an outsider to the hippie/boomer…
