Michelle Foucault in the Death Valley. Wade S.

This happened in 1975, when Michelle Foucault spent the weekend in South California at the invitation of Simeon Wade. Foucault, one of the brightest stars of the XX century philosophy, located at the zenith of his glory, gave a lecture to graduate students of college, after which he agreed to go to one of the most memorable travels in his life. Led by Wad and his friend, Foucault first experimented with psychotropic substances; By morning, he cried and stated that he knew the truth. “Michelle Foucault in the Death Valley” is a story about those long weekends. Fascinating and humorous prose immerses the reader into the subversive circles of the intelligentsia of the Clermont: parties to the Bungalo Wayd, saturated dialogs between Foucault and his students in the Taoist utopia in the Los Angeles forest; And, of course, the legendary trip in the death valley. Between the search for higher consciousness and pleasure from Bacchanalia, this book tells about the flourishing friendship of a young man with one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.
