Erik Davis Reviews Gary Lachman On P.D. Ouspensky
Since the 2001 publication of Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius, his prickly revisionist history of the dark side of the spiritual Sixties, former Blondie bassist Gary Lachman has become an increasingly prolific engine of literate, well-written, and clear-headed books about esoteric history and “occulture.”
Having read his Steiner bio a couple months ago and enjoyed it, I just gobbled up his 2004 biography In Search of P.D. Ouspensky: The Genius in the Shadow of Gurdjieff. It is a great tale, very well told, and deeply sad, even as its ultimately depressing cast proved more illuminating than the usual wan bummers that lurk at the close of all biographies.
