A reader's review of the 1970 "The Peter Pan Bag":
"One of the most hilarious mispresentations of hippie life ever
written. All hippies are spoiled kids from wealthy families, and all
hippies talk using absurd quasi-British sentence structure and slang.
However, it does keep you reading just to find out what happens to the
improbable characters, and some of the situations are believable. The
scene where the guru comes to dinner about killed me laughing -- it
was clearly a sendup of Dr. Timothy Leary. I still call highly spiced
food "enlightening". Kingman manages a very realistic and memorable
character in Rolf, the Vietnam veteran with PTSD. "Vietnam veterans'
syndrome" was just beginning to be talked about in 1970. "
