Revealing, funny, joyful, and often wise, Heretic s Heart will restore the spirit of the 1960s: the passion, the confusion, the sense of social transformation and limitless possibility, and the ecstatic feeling that the world is on the cusp of change. Adler s memoir marks an initiatory journey from spirit through politics and revolution back to spirit again. Heretic s Heart also explores Adler s attempt to come to terms with her singular legacy as the only grandchild of Alfred Adler, collaborator of Freud and founder of Individual Psychology, and as the daughter of a forceful beauty who bequeaths her spunk and adventurousness to her daughter, but whose overpowering personality forces Adler to strike out on her own. some people here are dying for lighting a cigarette at night. You see, while you re discussing it amongst each other, being beat, getting in bed with dark-haired artists. I m not positive of this though, cause it seems to me that if enough of them told the right people in the right way, then something might be done about it. I ve heard rumors that there are people back in the world who don t believe this war should be. The correspondence begins when Adler reads a letter the infantryman has written to a Berkeley newspaper. At the book s center is the powerful and unique correspondence between Adler, then an antiwar activist at Berkeley, and a young American soldier fighting in Vietnam. Heretic s Heart illuminates the events, ideas, passions, and ecstatic commitments of the decade like no other memoir. From campus activism at the University of California at Berkeley to civil rights work in Mississippi, from antiwar protests to observing the socialist revolution in Cuba, she found those chances in the 1960s. Now a correspondent for National Public Radio, Adler was a young woman determined to be taken seriously and to be an agent of change on her own terms, free from dogma and authoritarian constraints.
