Cottage Life
Crimson Dragon

Dot is a liberated girl of the 1960’s. As some of you might know, the 60’s were a tumultuous time -- a time of experimentation, a time of upheaval. This is the story of Dot, who is killing time at the cottage, hanging around unclothed, because that’s what one did to protest society’s repression. And she is waiting for Bill, her brother, and Sam, Bill’s friend and lover, to join her and alleviate some of the boredom of being a flower child. But even being as liberated as she is, Dot finds herself wondering about Bill’s current obsession.

This story gives us a window into the times. We watch as the three young reactionaries wander through their lives, through psychedelia and music and dope. I really loved the glimpses into a different time and lifestyle than most readers would be used to, I reckon.

It is a wonderful glimpse through the window of time, and that alone makes it worthwhile reading.
