Synopsis

Nonfiction: Psychology / Gay Studies

"THE ANDROGYNE JOURNAL is probably the most important and certainly the most tenderly intimate record of transformation we are likely ever to encounter. In a highly charged and richly readable prose, this great poet tells of a momentous summer when Hermes and Aphrodite reenacted their mythic courtship and consummation in the sensory theater of his own very real body. As readers, we witness the drama with a growing awareness that this alchemist of ecstasy is passing along to us a vital key to our own unfolding"
              -- James Leo Herlihy, author of Midnight Cowboy.

About this title

From the Author:

"This journal, written in 1960 when I was forty-seven, records the day to day events of a bewildering adventure in my life.  To the friends of my perplexity at that time - Joseph Henderson, Elizabeth Osterman, Alan Watts - I owe lasting gratitude.  Scrimshaw Press of Oakland issued a first version of this narrative in 1977.  For this new edition I have sharpened and amplified the text in order to bring greater clarity to an often inexplicable experience."
         -- James Broughton
