A memoir up to age 13, by a girl born in San Francisco and raised on a variety of hippie communes throughout the west. This book is a tribute to the resilience of youth.

This is a memoir up to age 13 by a girl born in San Francisco just before the Summer of Love and raised on a variety of hippie communes throughout the west. Clane's mother is macrobiotic and embroiders quilts with cosmic cats and pot leaves on them. She tells her kids that schools are just zoos run by the government, and all they do is tell lies printed on dead trees. From a world of complex relationships, uncertain rules and constant surprises, Clane forged a childhood, sometimes with, sometimes without her bong-puffing, Buddha-quoting, macrobiotic mother and her wild-haired, redneck father. "The Hypocrisy of Disco" is an honest, direct, and truly unforgettable tale, and a tribute to the resilience of youth.

Clane Hayward was born in 1967 in California. At thirteen, she ran away from communes, and at eighteen enlisted in the US Navy, where she served for five years. She returned to San Francisco, where she lived for ten years. She now teaches middle school in Austin, Texas.
