papaandbarkley.comDeath Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir
BOOK — 2024
A marriage story, a search for meaning in the wake of the Holocaust, and a struggle to release the weight of ancestral trauma, Death Trip takes listeners from the ayahuasca basements of Portland's psychedelic underground to the streets and alleyways of Budapest in the darkest days of World War II. By turns wrenching and hilarious, it asks "can trauma be inherited" and, if so, "can psychedelics help us heal?" Featured in Oldster Magazine, Let's Talk Memoir, and numerous podcasts and book events.
