Pubblicato nel 1971 sulla rivista musicale "Rolling Stones", il libro narradel viaggio di un giornalista sportivo e del suo avvocato a bordo di unaChevrolet rossa. La meta è Las Vegas, dove si tiene la Mint 400, sgangheratacorsa di moto e Dune-Buggy. Il viaggio si rivela allucinante, esilarante edisperato. I due protagonisti, sotto l'effetto della droga, assistono ad unatrasformazione totale della realtà, che assume le più imprevedibilisfaccettature. Il romanzo disegna il quadro dell'America di quegli anni,l'America degli sconfitti, persi in un baratro che le droghe ed i miti andatiin frantumi non hanno potuto colmare. Il romanzo è accompagnato da una"Piccola Enciclopedia Psichedelica" composta da nomi prestigiosi ed inattesi.

    "Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era — the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...."
    "There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda....You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high—water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."
