A year on the road, recalled decades later

Set in 1966, this first part of a two-part memoir traces a young man’s journey from Los Angeles through Reykjavik, Glasgow, London and Paris, onward through Spain, Morocco and Algeria, and finally to Amsterdam. Hitchhiking and drifting across borders provide the frame for a recollection that also looks inward, placing the travels alongside the counterculture’s early tremors and the narrator’s changing understanding of his younger self. Written six decades after the events, the account presents the journey through hindsight. This volume covers the departure, encounters along the way, and the narrator’s account of what he was ready to recognize at the time; the description indicates that the story continues in Part II.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in travel memoirs spanning Europe and North Africa.
  • Readers curious about personal recollections of the 1960s and the counterculture’s early period.
  • Readers who prefer memoirs presented as part of a two-volume account.

Book overview

In the fall of 1966, a young man walked away from everything expected of him and into the unknown - hitchhiking and drifting from Los Angeles to Reykjavik, Glasgow, London, Paris, and beyond, chasing something he couldn't yet name.

 

HASH CHRONICLES Part I: I Know What I Know is the first half of a two-part memoir tracing that journey - through the counterculture's early tremors, across borders both literal and internal, into Spain, Morocco, and Algeria, and finally reaching Amsterdam. It is a story told with the clarity of hindsight and the honesty of someone willing to look back at who he was at twenty, without flinching and without apology.

 

This is not nostalgia. It's testimony - a firsthand account of a year that shaped a life, written six decades later by a man who has finally decided the story is worth telling in full. Part I lays the groundwork: the decision to go, the people met along the way, and the version of the truth the narrator was ready to know.

 

Part II picks up where certainty runs thin and consequences gain momentum.
