Tom Wolfe is usually pretty even-handed in portraying the reality of all kinds of situations. I have not read the Electric Kool-Aid acid Test, but I would be interested to see if Wolfe actually glamorizes drug use as the aggrieved father states.

From my memory, not always accurate, Wolfe is like the one sober guy at an all night drunk. The beauty of the book is that he exposes the vapidity of the whole LSD thing.

Unless you think depicting people becoming psychotic from LSD is "glamorizing" it.
