About this Event
An intellectual biography of one of the most celebrated and yet least understood figures of the late twentieth century, Terence McKenna.
"In Strange Attractor, the first biography of this enigmatic figure, Graham St John detects the signal behind the noise.This book is an engaging chronicle of the life, works, and legacy of this brazen adventurer of the inner and outer dimensions, whose weird intelligence has affected multitudes and whose spirit continues to haunt the present. It draws on original documents and letters, features fifty two rare photographs and artworks, and shares previously untold stories from over eighty people. Neither glorifying nor disparaging its subject, Strange Attractor will appeal to those interested in the evolution of a psychedelic intellectual, and to those for whom McKenna’s wisdom endures." (MIT Press).
Join us for an evening with Graham St. John, author of this exploration into the mind of Terence McKenna. Enjoy refreshments during a discussion of the book, McKenna's philosophies and adventures.
