Torgoff tells the stories of those whose lives became synonymous with the drug culture, from Charlie Parker, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and John Belushi to ordinary people who felt their consciousness \"expanded\" or who plumbed the depths of addiction. He also examines the broader impact of drugs on society and politics, from the war on drugs to the recovery movement, and the continuing debate over drug policy. A vivid work of cultural history that neither demonizes nor romanticizes its subject, \u003ci\u003eCan't Find My Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocative and fascinating look at how drugs have entered the American mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Torgoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743230116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743230117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.22w x 1.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2005 pg. 36","brand":"Martin Torgoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981162643711,"sku":"9780743230117","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03eae7e8-ee7a-42b6-b667-5cd690e64c33.jpg?v=1683253998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cant-find-my-way-home-martin-torgoff-9780743230117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
