Beschreibung
In a style that unfolds like an easy conversation, Day has written a very personal coming of age story. Set against the late 60s counterculture of the San Francisco Bay Area, the narrative follows Day as he finds his thinking fogged in even as he matures. From explorations in the music scene, experiments with mind-altering substances, and fumbles with love and relationships during that sexual revolution, Fogged In paints the familiar images of this era with an entirely new brush. Written for a small audience of his four sons, this candid story of stumbling and frailty will resonate with everyone who has sought a sense of belonging or felt a yearning for something greater. Years of change and growth are required for him to escape the fog, abandon his worldview, and see the beguiling quagmire of the world in a different light, ultimately embracing the metaphysical and an evangelical message.
Day writes clearly about difficult to grasp subjects, developing them in such a way that they become understandable and real. Eloquent and elegant, his balance of storytelling and reflection is a delight to read and makes what some might call a polemic because of his conviction easy to comprehend.
