Journal Entry 1 by pzarks from Portland, Oregon USA on Wednesday, August 22, 2007
"SHAMPOO PLANET is the rich and dazzling point where two worlds collide- those of 1960s parents and their 1990s offspring, "Global Teens." Raised in a hippie commune, Tyler Johnson is an ambitious twenty-year-old Reagan youth, living in a decaying northwest city and aspiring to a career with the corporation whose offices his mother once firebombed.
SHAMPOO PLANET's six-month chronicle of Tyler's life takes us to Paris and the ongoing party beside Jim Morrison's grave, then to a wild island in British Columbia, the freak-filled redwood forests of northern California, a cheesy Hollywood, ultramodern Seattle, and finally back home. On the way we meet a constellation of characters, among them: Jasmine, Tyler's Woodstock mom; Dan, his land-developer stepfather; "Princess Stephanie," Tyler's European summer fling; Anna-Louise, his post-feminist girlfriend with an eating disorder; Neil, Tyler's Deadhead dope-ranching biological father; and Harmony, a rich computer hacker with a fetish for the medieval.
Tyler's dizzying journey into the contemporary psyche, a voyage full of rock videos, toxic waste, french-fry computers and clearcut forests, is a spellbinding, signature novel for a generation coming of age as the millennium comes to a close."
