Dennis McKenna to write memoir of his brother Terence McKenna

From the Kickstarter plea:

Terence McKenna is a legend in the psychedelic community: He is remembered as a radical philosopher, futurist, raconteur, and cultural commentator. He was and is one of the most articulate spokesmen for the post-psychedelic zeitgeist. He is one of the prime originators of the 2012 mythos with all its attendent apocalyptarian anxiety. I am the younger brother of Terence McKenna. I want to write a memoir telling the real story of our intertwined life together over the last 60 years, and of the ideas, adventures, and explorations (both inner and outer) that we shared. I am Terence’s only brother; I am the only one who can tell this tale, from this unique perspective. Terence died in 2000, but his ideas live on the Net and in his books (e.g. True Hallucinations, Food of the Gods, The Archaic Revival, The Invisible Landscape and others). The time has come to tell his story; in reality, it is our story.

I'm hoping there'll be material on the changes that Terence's personality underwent after becoming a psychedelic guru, plus Dennis' feelings about how his bother helped / hindered 'serious' psychedelic research.

We can all contribute by putting up some money. Where else are you going to get a deal like this? For $35 you are guaranteed an autographed copy for said book? I did it right away. And it's done through Amazon, so it's as secure as it can get. Yay, I can't wait.

@speller, my apologies for not italicizing that French word, mémoire

In the headline the memoire you mean is probably spelled memoir.

Great idea. If there is anything i can do to contribute to that book, i would love to do that. (I am an artist, close listener/reader of Terence's ideas and very inspired by some of these ideas). If not, i will be more than glad to read it! By the way, i would more than love to read/hear more details from Dennis on what happened with him in the jungle, as described in True Hallucinations.
