After Tom Pollard's knee injury ends his basketball hopes, and his older brother Bob is killed in Vietnam, he drops out of Berkeley and slums as a bartender in a hippie haunt on Vancouver Island. In an attempt to rescue him, his conservative girlfriend Ruby takes a job teaching school there, but soon becomes weary of Tom's lost soul routine. When summer arrives, she returns home to Anaheim, indefinitely. In her absence, Tom overindulges in booze and drugs, until reality intrudes and forces him to confront death, loss, and the conspiring, malevolent universe. Fresh insightful, and often hilarious, The Dregs of Aquarius is a counter-culture Catcher in the Rye that delves into the coming-of-age challenges common to every generation. For anyone who didn't experience the hippie era first-hand, or for baby boomers who can't remember much about the whole scene and might want a refresher, The Dregs of Aquarius is the perfect trip.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Trip to the 60s By Steve Taylor Literary fiction is a term principally used for certain fictional works that hold literary merit. In other words, they are works that offer deliberate social commentary, political criticism, or focus on the individual to explore some part of the human condition.I snagged this definition off of Google because I wanted you to know exactly what you'd be getting with Rick Dewhurst's "The Dregs of Aquarius". It falls directly into the literary fiction category unlike his other novels. Rick skillfully takes the reader back in time to the 1960s, a time when rebelling from the social norms became popular. Even though I was young at the time it was exactly how I remembered it. Without the use of foul language the writing is fantastic and makes reading the book a delight. If I'm not mistaken this book contains the longest sentence in the history of mankind and because of what was going on at the time it fit perfectly.There is very little plot to the story and more of a snapshot of a summer on an island in Vancouver Canada. The description states that Ruby (the main characters girlfriend) is conservative but I'd say she's not but she is closer to living a normal productive life. Tom is so messed that Ruby splits to show him how serious she is about family and career. During this time Tom gets worse, much worse. Rick takes the reader through a journey of discovery that is both insightful and entertaining.As King Solomon said "there is nothing new under the sun". Even though we are 50 years past the 1960s the same philosophies permeate today's society, we just use different vernacular and we dress different. As we learn through Tom's experience we can learn about ours.Recommended
