Book Reading: Tom Fels, Farm Friends
Tom Fels will read from Farm Friends: From the Late Sixties to the West Seventies and Beyond. Fels lived on a communal farm for four years (1969-73), which provides the background for Farm Friends, a memoir and a study of the generation of the 1960s. Beginning in 1969, it continues as a personal chronicle of the author and his extended family up to the present day. Farm Friends was nominated for the Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Award, the Philip Johnson Award, and the Wittenborn Memorial Award. Fels was a college administrator for five years before becoming a full-time curator and writer.
