Lou Fancher of the San Francisco Examiner published a glowing review of Peter's new book in the 7/29 edition. You can read the full review here. Fancher writes, "The struggle between a spiritual and a status-seeking life behind the lyrics in the Bob Dylan song that inspired the memoir’s title might be Coyote’s narcotic for life. But each time he climbs another mountain to look at the terrain, he’s grown a bit more lucid about the peaks and valleys — and increasingly sage about their power."

On July 19th Peter was a guest of TNS Host Steve Heilig discussing a wide ranger of topics including his book, "The Rainman's Third Cure". Jonah Raskin writes about this Commonweal event in Bolinas for Point Reyes Light. The article is called, "Hello and Goodbye to Peter Coyote" and you can read it at this link. Raskin says, "There's nothing like seeing and hearing Coyote in person. A born performer, a great mimic and an elder in the tribue of '60s veterans, he knows how to hold himself, how to hold an audience and how to let go and bring listeners along with him." I'll second that!
