• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  We had barely made it through the Scandinavian countries, the smiling blond dolls, with their headscarves, aproned dresses, and wooden shoes, waving at us and singing, “It’s a world of laughter / A world of tears / It’s a world of hope / And a world of fears... ” when Ray made a loud choking noise. He and Theresa were sitting in front of Sara and me. Alarmed, I leaned forward in my seat to see what was wrong with him. His shoulders shook and he dug into his pocket, producing one of his linen handkerchiefs, and he blew his nose loudly, exclaiming in the same choking voice, “This is so beautiful.” Theresa placed her hand on Ray’s arm, and he turned to give her a long sappy look. Sara snorted and I ducked my head, hoping this was the extent of his emotional outburst. We were on a kiddy ride for Christ’s sake! Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly like Ray any less, my feelings would drop to a new level of disdain. The thrill of leaving Synanon had worn off and now I found myself grappling with the fact that we were all at odds with each other. My desire for normalcy, plainness, the all-American life, a template of a 1950s-like lifestyle which I’d mentally molded from years of fantasizing, clashed with Ray and Theresa’s idea of searching for a spiritual utopia. When we returned to Santa Clara, we received the news that the people from the University of the Trees had accepted our family into their community. Ray and Theresa, after some discussion, accepted the invitation, much to the relief of both Sara and me. The commune seemed a great compromise. We would live in our own home. Sara and I could go to public school while Ray and Theresa got to take advantage of the weekly meditation groups, communication seminars, and potlucks with likeminded people. Best of all, Sara and I were not required to attend any of it. The commune offered our parents jobs. Ray went to work selling negative ion generators, and Theresa was placed in a secretarial position. Get Synanon Kid Grows Up Now! AcknowledgmentsFirst and foremost, I would like to thank my mother for helping me to tell this story. When I first began writing Synanon Kid in 2013, she generously spent many hours on the phone with me, answering all of my questions and sharing her perspective of our peculiar past. My children have all been wonderful in taking time to read several drafts and giving me valuable constructive criticism. In 2014, I contacted Paul Morantz, the attorney who litigated Synanon on multiple counts and who Chuck Dederich attempted to murder by ordering two Synanon men to place a rattle snake in his mailbox.

• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  My silence hardly mattered because Sophie talked non-stop; there was little chance for me to get a word out, even if I’d wanted to. My mother busied herself setting up refreshments and Sophie grabbed my hand, her smile revealing severely bucked teeth, which I later learned were due to her habitual thumb sucking. She yanked me to her side and asked, “Do you want to help make the popcorn?” Her dark eyes jumped about with an agitated excitement that reminded me of my cousin Joey’s hamster. I picked up the bag of popcorn only to have Sophie snatch it out of my hands. “Do you want to pour the popcorn?” She looked up at my mother. “Celena, why don’t you get the oil,” my mom said. “I’ll get it.” Sophie angled me out of the way, grabbing the bottle. I wandered off. Sophie returned to my side, linking her arm with mine. “I am going to be your best friend,” she informed me, patting my hand as if to prove her point. With unusual strength, she pulled me back to the popcorn setup. Every time I attempted to talk with my mom, Sophie interrupted. If I said or examined anything, Sophie was right there with me, imitating my movements, copying my mannerisms, repeating everything, constantly interrupting and giggling. After an hour I began to despise her, the gummy bucked smile and anxious chubby hands grabbing at me. I pulled my arm from her with such force that she stumbled back. “Leave me alone!” I felt as if I were a doll for Sophie to do with as she pleased. I wanted to go home. The perpetual smile vanished from Sophie’s face. My mother’s face seemed to collapse with disappointment. “I don’t want her to be my buddy. Make her leave me alone.” My throat closed with the tears I fought to keep back. Sophie’s shoulders sagged, her eyes darting from me to my mom and the other children, who hung back, non-interactive and uninterested now that I was as bald as they were. “Oh, but Sophie’s such a good friend,” my mother said, squatting to our level and taking both our hands. “She’s all prepared to show you around and explain how everything works, and she’s been looking forward to your arrival. The two of you will be sharing a room, and soon you’ll enjoy each other’s company.” I didn’t want to share a room with Sophie, and I didn’t want to be a beautiful Synanon girl. I stared at Sophie, doubtful. It seemed she wanted to be me. I had not considered it possible to be given a good friend. I decided that I hated her. The next day I found myself again in the large room where the odd party had taken place the previous evening. I sat on a metal folding chair as part of a circle that contained my mother, two other adults and some children.

• From The Things They Carried (1990)

  "Jesus, please," I said, but Azar lobbed over another one, waited for the hiss, then scrambled over to the rope we hadn't used yet. It was my idea. I'd rigged it up myself: a sandbag painted white, a pulley system. Azar gave the rope a quick tug, and out in front of Bunker Six, the white sandbag lifted itself up and hovered there in a misty swirl of gas. Jorgenson began firing. Just one round at first, a single red tracer that thumped into the sandbag and burned. "Oooo!" Azar murmured. Quickly, talking to himself, Azar hurled the last gas grenade, shot up another flare, then snatched the rope again and made the white sandbag dance. "Oooo!" he was chanting. "Star light, star bright!" Bobby Jorgenson did not go nuts. Quietly, almost with dignity, he stood up and took aim and fired once more at the sandbag. I could see his profile against the red flares. His face seemed relaxed. He stared out into the dark for several seconds, as if deciding something, then he shook his head and began marching out toward the wire. His posture was erect; he did not crouch or squirm or crawl. He walked upright. He moved with a kind of grace. When he reached the sandbag, Jorgenson stopped and turned and shouted out my name, then he placed his rifle muzzle up against the white sandbag. "O'Brien!" he yelled, and he fired. Azar dropped the rope. "Well," he muttered, "show's over." He looked down at me with a mixture of contempt and pity. After a second he shook his head. "Man, I'll tell you something. You're a sorry, sorry case." I was trembling. I kept hugging myself, rocking, but I couldn't make it go away. "Disgusting," Azar said. "Sorriest fuckin' specimen I ever seen." He looked out at Jorgenson, then at me. His eyes had the opaque, spiritless surface of stone. He moved forward as if to help me up. Then he stopped. Almost as an afterthought, he kicked me in the head. "Sad," he murmured, and headed off to bed. "No big deal," I told Jorgenson. "Leave it alone." But he led me down to the bunker and used a towel to wipe the gash at my forehead. It wasn't bad, really. I felt some dizziness, but I tried not to let it show. It was almost dawn now. For a while we didn't speak. "So," he finally said. "Right." We shook hands. Neither of us put much emotion into it and we didn't look at each other's eyes. Jorgenson pointed out at the shot-up sandbag. "That was a nice touch," he said. "It almost had me—" He paused and squinted out at the eastern paddies, where the sky was beginning to color up. "Anyway, a nice dramatic touch. Someday maybe you should go into the movies or something." I nodded and said, "That's an idea." "Another Hitchcock. The Birds—you ever see it?" "Scary stuff," I said.

  Azar gave me a small, thin smile. "Serious?" he said. "That's way too serious for me—I'm your basic fun lover." When he smiled again, I knew it was hopeless, but I tried anyway. I told him the score was even. We'd made our point, I said, no need to rub it in. Azar stared at me. "Poor, poor boy," he said. The rest was inflection and white eyes. An hour before dawn we moved in for the last phase. Azar was in command now. I tagged after him, thinking maybe I could keep a lid on. "Don't take this personal," Azar said cheerfully. "It's my own character flaw. I just like to finish things." I didn't look at him. As we approached the wire, Azar put his hand on my shoulder, guiding me over toward the boulder pile. He knelt down and inspected the ropes and flares, nodded to himself, peered out at Jorgenson's bunker, nodded once more, then took off his helmet and sat on it. He was smiling again. "You know something?" he said. His voice was wistful. "Out here, at night, I almost feel like a kid again. The Vietnam experience. I mean, wow, I Jove this shit." "Let's just—" "Shhhh." Azar put a finger to his lips. He was still smiling at me, almost kindly. "This here's what you wanted," he said. "You dig playing war, right? That's all this is. A cute little backyard war game. Brings back memories, I bet—those happy soldiering days. Except now you're a has-been. One of those American Legion types, guys who like to dress up in a nifty uniform and go out and play at it. Pitiful. It was me, I'd rather get my ass blown away for real." My lips had a waxy feel, like soapstone. "Come on," I said. "Just quit." "Pitiful." "Azar, for Christ sake." He patted my cheek. "Purely pitiful," he said.

• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  In my mind, Ray belonged in Synanon, and leaving the community meant leaving him behind too. Other times I worried that my mother stayed because she was afraid she would not be allowed to leave. Not only did I focus on Theresa’s flaws, but I also began to observe the demonstrators in a much more cynical manner. Feeling less intimidated, I started to view their arbitrary rules and punishments with contempt. Having resettled into our normal routines after the move, games increased to a daily event. To whip us back into shape, we were required to participate in a mini stew, a game of twenty-four hours’ duration. The stew started after breakfast, and we were off to a fierce start of attacks and counterattacks, which frittered away into jealous squabbles between some of the girls about who had stolen whose friend. Next came talks between couples who wanted to break up, each person backed by his or her best friends. “I don’t want to go out with you!” one girl yelled at her boyfriend. “Why?” he demanded. She leaned forward, lips peeled away from her teeth. “Look, sucker, I never wanted to be your girlfriend in the first place.” This remark brought on a backlash from the humiliated boyfriend’s friends. “You fucking slut! He’s glad to be rid of your stupid pussy. He was doing you a favor!” “Yeah. You dumb bitch, you’re too stupid to know what you have!” “Oh, you think you’re good with girls, asshole? Have you ever had a girlfriend, dick-face?” The rest of us, who were a few years younger, sat out the amorous savagery, neither sufficiently experienced nor much caring to participate. Hours dragged by as the demonstrators took turns watching over us and encouraging us to keep going. “Play! Keep playing! This is a stew.” By midnight some of the kids had nodded off, spent, with nothing more to say. At some point I also drifted off and awoke to a demonstrator vigorously shaking me. “It’s not time to sleep! We’re still playing. You must participate!” The penetrating glow of fluorescent light, stark and hellish, illuminated my droopy-eyed schoolmates. My eyes felt grainy and scratchy with sleep. “Fuck. I’m tired,” I muttered. The demonstrator pushed her face close to mine. A black fury swirled in the depths of her eyes, the bags under them swollen to half-moons from lack of sleep. “You wake up and play. Do you hear me?” I sat up straighter, blinking rapidly. I didn’t know what was going on. Someone talked about a roommate not keeping her side of the room tidy. The child being attacked stared with glazed eyes, expressionless. The rest of my circle was almost comatose. “Hey, I’m talking to you, asshole!” an attacker shouted, trying to bring the level back up. I rubbed at my eyes and looked at the girl on the hot seat, waiting for her reply. She hadn’t moved or even blinked. “Are you listening?” The demonstrator shook her.

  hand, her smile revealing severely bucked teeth, which I later learned were due to her habitual thumb sucking. She yanked me to her side and asked, “Do you want to help make the popcorn?” Her dark eyes jumped about with an agitated excitement that reminded me of my cousin Joey’s hamster. I picked up the bag of popcorn only to have Sophie snatch it out of my hands. “Do you want to pour the popcorn?” She looked up at my mother. “Celena, why don’t you get the oil,” my mom said. “I’ll get it.” Sophie angled me out of the way, grabbing the bottle. I wandered off. Sophie returned to my side, linking her arm with mine. “I am going to be your best friend,” she informed me, patting my hand as if to prove her point. With unusual strength, she pulled me back to the popcorn setup. Every time I attempted to talk with my mom, Sophie interrupted. If I said or examined anything, Sophie was right there with me, imitating my movements, copying my mannerisms, repeating everything, constantly interrupting and giggling. After an hour I began to despise her, the gummy bucked smile and anxious chubby hands grabbing at me. I pulled my arm from her with such force that she stumbled back. “Leave me alone!” I felt as if I were a doll for Sophie to do with as she pleased. I wanted to go home. The perpetual smile vanished from Sophie’s face. My mother’s face seemed to collapse with disappointment. “I don’t want her to be my buddy. Make her leave me alone.” My throat closed with the tears I fought to keep back. Sophie’s shoulders sagged, her eyes darting from me to my mom and the other children, who hung back, non-interactive and uninterested now that I was as bald as they were. “Oh, but Sophie’s such a good friend,” my mother said, squatting to our level and taking both our hands. “She’s all prepared to show you around and explain how everything works, and she’s been looking

• From The Tides of Lust (1973)

  A castrated Negro on a train’s cow-catcher moved forward through dispersing figures: one, the great flower of a woman’s face; another, a man with a broken sword. A musculature manikin was painted as a black, with real, woolly hair pasted on the skull; in his chest an open wound had been gouged, and a union flag draped through his arm. On a shelf sat a glove-manikin hand, black, and painted with a trompe l’oeil night: stars, moon, and the pale clouds before it. The captain took the wallet from his pocket. “Your picture is in this wallet. What can you tell me about the woman?” He tossed it toward the drawing board. Proctor caught it. As he opened it, his brows pulled together. He looked up. “Thank you.” “My dog found it on the docks and brought it on the boat. The woman dropped it.” “Catherine?” “Is that her name?” Proctor nodded. Then he said: “Won’t you sit down. Why don’t you have some coffee with me.” The captain nodded. “There’s money in this wallet,” Proctor said, looking up. The captain shrugged. Proctor fingered through the bills. “You should have some reward for returning it to—” The captain’s gesture erased the suggestion. “You tell me about the woman.” The captain sat on a crate, letting his feet go wide— “What do you want to know?” —balanced his wrists on his knees, and leaned forward: “How many times you had your tongue in her pussy? How many times you had your dick in her ass?” Proctor put his arm on the drawing board and laughed. “Fifty for each?” Then, “None?” Then, “What do you want?” The captain said, more softly: “Who are you, Jonathan Proctor? What do you have that I want?” The artist leaned forward. “There’s a rumor, Captain, that the day the devil comes seven times between noon and midnight, we will begin an age of moral chaos such as is only hinted at in the tale of the expulsion from the garden. There!” “Who made that up?” “I did.” Proctor shrugged. “I can tell stories as well as paint pictures. You want something from me? I’m simply telling you what I can offer. You come up here like a man who wants to eat pussy and stick ass. I haven’t been a pimp for a while.” The captain grinned. “Not to say . . .” Proctor drew his fist up his thigh “. . . I have no talent there.” Suddenly he looked over his shoulder and called: “Benny!” A lizard scurried along the bars of a bird cage, stared at them with a red eye. From a doorway, hung with paisley drape, came a sleepy boy, fifteen or sixteen. Proctor said: “Bring us some coffee.” Black hair, olive dark (the high cheeks of a Puerto Rican), eyes curious through fatigue: a long body carved by physical labor. He went over to the stove and began to make coffee. His hands were clumsily affectionate with the pots.
