I Think, Therefore Who Am I? was my first published first person nonfiction novel. It took over twenty years to write about that psychedelic year, which was followed by Digging Deeper, A Memoir of the Seventies; ten or so years that were written in five. Getting Real, Drifting into Middle Age, went even more smoothly, though it covers twenty years. All three together constitute a trilogy, with characters, dialogue, and plot lines, each book composed as a pastiche of interwoven short stories that gradually come together to form a novel.
