Reviews
"A grown-up child of the 1960s looks back in anger, seasoned with retroactive awe, at his mercurial father, a legendary activist and counterculture icon. . . . A haunting vision of post-'60s malaise whose narrator somehow retains his humor, compassion, and even optimism in the wake of the most crushing disillusionment."-- Kirkus (starred) "A heartfelt meditation on how quickly history outruns political and social ideals. . . . Furst's novel and its themes will resonate with readers regardless of whether they lived through its time."-- Publishers Weekly (starred) " Revolutionaries is an express train of a novel, and through its windows we are offered an extraordinary view of America's ruination. At once comic and tragic and domestic and panoramic, this a wonderful, masterful novel."--Joseph O'Neill, author of The Dog and Netherland "The best portrayal of the charismatic and kinetic politics of the 60s since American Pastoral. Joshua Furst has given us a kaleidoscopic and timely exploration of the personal and political costs of populism--on the left or the right."--David Cole, national legal director, ACLU, and author of Engines of Liberty: How Citizen Movements Succeed "A gorgeously written elegy for American subversion that will make you want to shout in the street, and a heartbreaking family story that'll have you weeping as you do it."--James Hannaham, author of Delicious Foods and God Says No "A triumph of narration--sly, fierce, funny--and a brilliant take on one of America's great insurrectionary moments. Freedom Snyder is a narrator to treasure, and Joshua Furst brings a beautiful mix of empathy, longing, scorn and a sense of tragic witness to this novel of politics and family love."--Sam Lipsyte, author of Hark and The Ask, "A warts-and-all look at the 1960s counterculture through the eyes of Freedom "Fred" Snyder, the child of an Abbie Hoffman-like activist leader. . . . Furst upends our often nostalgic, peace-and-love view of the Sixties [and is] particularly adept at painting a visceral picture of Freedom's surroundings, using the observational gifts of a child."-- Library Journal "A grown-up child of the 1960s looks back in anger, seasoned with retroactive awe, at his mercurial father, a legendary activist and counterculture icon. . . .

Synopsis
In his second novel, the acclaimed author of The Sabotage Caf leads us on a long, strange trip through the heart of the sixties and beyond, as seen through the eyes of the revolution's poster child. Fred is the sole offspring of Lenny Snyder, the famous (or notorious) pied piper of the counterculture, and in middle age he hates being reminded of it. But neither can he ignore any longer his psychedelically bizarre childhood. From infancy, for instance, he was called Freedom (in fact his given name) not only by those who should have known him but also by members of the burgeoning movement led by his father, who happily exploited having his wife and his toddling, then walking and talking, and finally observant son in tow. Thanks to Fred, this charismatic, brilliant, volatile ringmaster is as captivating in these pages as he was to his devoted disciples back then. We watch Lenny organize hippies and intellectuals, stage magnificent stunts, and gradually lose his magnetic confidence and leading role as the sixties start slipping away. He demands loyalty but gives none back in return, a man who preaches love but treats his family with almost reflexive cruelty. And Fred remembers all of it--the chaos, the spite, the affection. A kaleidoscopic saga, this novel is at once a profound allegory for America--where we've been and where we're going--and a deeply intimate portrait of a father and son who define our times., An Austin Chronicle Best Book of the Year Fred, given name Freedom, is the sole offspring of Lenny Snyder, the infamous pied piper of 1960s counterculture. From a young age, Fred has been exploited by his father and used to enhance Lenny's mystique. Now middle-aged, Fred looks back on life with this charismatic, brilliant, and volatile ringmaster, who is as captivating in these pages as he was to his devoted disciples back then. We see Lenny in his prime and then as he gradually loses his magnetic confidence and leading role at the end of the sixties. Lenny demands loyaty but gives none back in return; he preaches love but treats his family with almost reflexive cruelty. And Fred remembers all of it--the chaos, the spite, the affection. A kaledoscopic saga, this novel is at once a profound allegory for America and a deeply intimate portrait of a father and son.
