Deep Fool is an arresting oberservation of one man's intense and earnest journey through American culture: the typical New York kid who plays stickball in the shadow of Ebbets Field: the eage-to-please Phi Beta Kappa student who seems to hold the key to success: the dissatisfied young man who searches the world for truth and justice: the vagabond hippie who looks for life's meaning, without and within: the bewildered, betrayed adult who rages against the insanities of civilization as we know it, while seeking peace through spirituality and acceptance.
