Remember Me

Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley, and Elsinore Castle, Denmark, meet as a former sixties radical searches for answers to troubling issues of international, racial and sexual politics of her formative years. She takes the reader right into the cauldron of street battles and bedroom battles as her characters fight their way through the turbulent years of l969 and l970. And for insight, they look not to Mao's Little Red Book but to the Elizabethan wisdom and confusion of Shakespeare's Hamlet. This novel is no story of mind-bending drugs or hippie love. Rather it is a raw look at a place and time where young people thought they could wake up an indifferent world. Tragedy, heartbreak, even horror, and a dose of humor lead in the end to resolution between complicity and redemption, at least for some of them.
