520    In 1943, LSD is synthesized in Basel. Two decades later, a
       coterie of grad students at Harvard are gradually drawn 
       into the inner circle of renowned psychologist and 
       psychedelic drug enthusiast Timothy Leary. Fitzhugh Loney,
       a psychology Ph.D. student and his wife, Joanie, become 
       entranced by the drug's possibilities such that their 
       "research" becomes less a matter of clinical trials and 
       academic papers and instead turns into a free-wheeling 
       exploration of mind expansion, group dynamics, and 
       communal living. With his trademark humor and pathos, 
       Boyle moves us through the Loneys' initiation at one of 
       Leary's parties to his notorious summer seminars in 
       Zihuatanejo until the Loneys' eventual expulsion from 
       Harvard and their introduction to a communal arrangement 
       of thirty devotees--students, wives, and children--living 
       together in a sixty-four room mansion and devoting 
       themselves to all kinds of experimentation and 
       questioning. Is LSD a belief system? Does it allow you to 
       see God? Can the Loneys' marriage--or any marriage, for 
       that matter--survive the chaotic and sometimes orgiastic 
       use of psychedelic drugs? Wry, witty, and wise, Outside 
       Looking In is an ideal subject for this American master, 
       and highlights Boyle's acrobatic prose, detailed plots, 
       and big ideas. It's an utterly engaging and occasionally 
       trippy look at the nature of reality, identity, and 
       consciousness, as well as our seemingly infinite 
       capacities for creativity, re-invention, and self-
       discovery.--|cPublisher's description.
