Reviews
"What a fascinating book--Eric Utne has been the Zelig of the counterculture, arriving early again and again at the place where the non-mainstream is flowing. He tells the story with verve and command; it's a remarkable piece of social history." --Bill McKibben, author Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? " Far Out Man will take you on a journey, not just through one man's life, but through a pivotal time in American and world history. Always honest, often funny, sometimes profound, Eric Utne's life story shows us how we got here and even where we might go next. His journey will resonate with people from his generation and beyond." --Paul Kingsnorth, author of The Wake and Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist

Synopsis
The founder of Utne Reade r chronicles his adventures on the frontlines of American culture--from the Vietnam era to the age of Trump--as a spiritual seeker, antiwar activist, and minor media celebrity. Far Out Man is the story of a life-long seeker who was occasionally a finder as well. In 1984, Eric Utne founded Utne Reader , a digest of new ideas and fresh perspectives percolating in the arts, culture, politics, business, and spirituality. With the tag line "The Best of the Alternative Press," the magazine was twice a finalist for a National Magazine Award and grew to more than 300,000 paid circulation. In the nineties, the magazine promoted the Neighborhood Salon Association to revive the endangered art of conversation and start a revolution in people's living rooms. More than 18,000 people joined, comprising nearly 500 salons across North America. Utne devoted the magazine to bringing people together to help make the world a "little greener and a little kinder." Far Out Man serves as a chronicle of both an individual life and a generation, covering the conflicts of the Vietnam era, the hopes and excesses of the sexual revolution and the Me Decade, the idealism and depredations of the entrepreneurial eighties and nineties, and the promise and perils of the digital age. Ultimately, Far Out Man is the story of Eric Utne's lifelong search for hope, how he lost it, and what he found on the other side that sustains him in his darkest moments. It is a book dedicated to helping all seekers become finders., The founder of Utne Reade r chronicles his adventures on the frontlines of American culture--from the Vietnam era to the age of Trump--as a spiritual seeker, antiwar activist, and minor media celebrity.

Far Out Man is the story of a man who has been a seeker his entire life, and occasionally, a finder as well. In 1984, Eric Utne launched the Utne Reader . He had hope--he wanted to prove that the Love Revolution of the Sixties was alive and well and impervious to cooptation, and he devoted the magazine to bringing people together in order to help make the world a "little greener and a little kinder." This book serves as a chronicle of both an individual life and a generation, covering the madness of the Vietnam era, the hopes and excesses of the sexual revolution and the Me Decade, the idealism and depredations of the entrepreneurial Eighties and Nineties, and the promise and perils of the digital age. Ultimately, Far Out Man is the story of Eric Utne's lifelong search for hope, how he lost it (after Trump's election), and what he found on the other side that keeps him going and sustains him in his darkest moments. This book is dedicated to helping each and every seeker become a finder.
